Happy Valentines Day!

Sorry, folks, but I will not be in today. A friend had a bad fire at her house, and I have to help with the recovery.

Here is a poor photo of the Red Cross volunteers
who came while the firefighters were still
working to help my friend and her tenant.

TODAY'S PLAN:
There are a lot of folk who make YouTube video's. I think Anne of All Trades is one of the more reliable makers. (I believe she will be in Portland Friday and Saturday helping to demo tools at an event you should feel free to go to (it's free!) click this link for the information.

Today you are to watch a series of videos that illustrate the basics of wood frame construction. This is the way that almost all single family homes are built. In these videos Anne (and her best friend) build a tiny home. If you take Intermediate Woods next year -- which is a fabulous idea if you ask me -- you will be required to take a test that includes your knowledge of framing and other techniques demonstrated in the video. It would be great if you took some notes on the steps of the process! The first video will give you an overview. The next three will give you more details. Use the first video to figure out what your notes from the more detailed videos should include.
