Thanks 
This is the last building on Main street in our town to get an apartment upstairs. The old theater balcony was just too expensive to remodel, until now. I've talked friends out of buying it for 20+ years.
Mainly I was just showing another window detail.
So, the bostitch trim nailer on the floor, it's a wall hanging now, she says I can recycle my old guns. I was pithed, multiple times as it died and failed to sink flimsy nails in visible trim. I pulled the clients nail gun off their shelf, bought nails (Damn, tarriff prices!), and it was junk. Dropped by the little building supply to price a new nailer and came home over the weekend to check his price and try to rebuild something. I tried on the B...itch and the old paslode mustang, several times each, no joy, they have both laid down. The mustang, that was THE trim nailer, on every crew, through the 90's. I have the factory tackle box of rebuild parts, its just too scored inside. Larry at the little building supply was competitive so I bought a Senco trim gun and finished up the windows today. The doors and base are still to go, so do what you gotta do. 6 days ago, I'm 1 year from SS and every old tool seems to want to die, I'm nursing 3 geriatric compressors in the cold, trying to make air... come on guys one more hit, that's all I ask!
My southern brothers ran the gauntlet and hung the drywall below today. 2,3 and 4 layers to make fire code. We wrapped up, I tipped them well, and we came home in time to transfer her bags and spin the groceries to the house with the burb in chains. Supposedly 50f tomorrow, bring it!
