This is a fact.

If I had guys to hammer nails I'd have 30 houses and 10 retail properties ready to hit the market, and the market is booming, but I don't so I have to make do the best I can. No different from any of the other labor shortages I've had to weather. And weather it I will.

nobody hammering nails today. air guns do all the work. I framed houses for 45 years and had guys try to work for me that could barely hammer in nails they were raised on air guns


Mine just stop dead if a compressor goes down. I told them there was a bucket of sinkers in the van, did they know what a hammer was for?! One of them said "yeah, to beat [bleep] in place so I can nail it with a nail gun?"
