Pete throws a bone to all the hard-working hangers out there.
It was another cold January morning as my partner and I entered the house. We plugged in our radio, set up our benches, marked the trusses, pulled the rippers off the board while counting the sheets and started hanging lids.
Five hours later, the ceiling in the house was hung and now came the decision to either hang the garage lid or start walling the inside of the house. We stopped for lunch and laughed about the many times we have chosen to leave the garage for last. We hated hanging garages. You know why? It means we would have to raise our benches, hang around the furnace and cut out for the hardware around the garage door opener supports. After much talk we decided to get out there and get it done. We knew from experience that we make the most money if we do things in order.
