Fixing Our Historic House

sixteen inch centers
nail the stud
two by four framed

floor joists sixteen inch
on center advanced framing technique
wall cavities must be pulled

load bearing
board two by six
laid flat

girdling support
fixing our historic house
improving frame under construction

Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

Is there nothing you can't so, Sage.
I'd help you but I lost my hammer.
Love, gene.

Either your floor boards are hell for stout - or you floor joists are one hell of a spring board. Ah, historic homes, back when a two by four was actually a two by four. Patrick

I love doing this kind of work and those old homes are built so solid. Enjoyed a glimpse of your work Sage.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
