[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3273651, member: 24357"] Working in positions that can not be described here I have had to (just to get the job done) take shots that I have thought- “this is f&*^in’ suicidal, but there is no room to hammer and no other direction I can fire this gun from.” I suppose if you have never done anything like it, then you don't know what you have to do to get it done. Job estimation is so close now a days with material values that labor is the breaker on who gets the job, so every company figures that framing will be done by gun- the fastest method to frame. (I have certification in Estimation and Project Management from the Turn Key Institute, so I kinda have an idea how to figure that much out.) And as far as hammers go- many times you can't use them, angle, position, not having something support what you are shooting into, but as I implied- if you have never done it…. Personally- I have always disliked nail gun, because of the safety issues and the fact that I spent most of my apprenticeship nailing off shear (roof or wall), so when I could get away with no nail gun I did as often as I could, and when I was on a roll or in the rhythm I could keep pace and surpass nail gun framers with less experience. As far as the guy noted by the OP- I understand, I know he was doing what he could to make himself safe and he would have changed everything that he had done to avoid the accident (in hind sight), just to avoid the humiliation, cause I have a fair idea of the names his co workers call him now. :o [/QUOTE]
