SoCal BS Thread

So your a whore for Simpson? lol

I learned my trade on the east coast. We don't have all the seismic crap that you guys have out here. Every thing gets nailed off at 6/12. My first job out here I get through a referral from one of the guys I worked with back east. I guess he talked me up pretty good to a GC in Santa Cruz. I met with the guy and got the job on the spot.

The next day I roll in and his foreman tells me to go nail off the south wall. They had just tacked the shear the day before. The wall was a gable end on a 5/12 slope two stories maybe 30 feet wide. I grab my gun and some nails and proceed to nail it off. That takes about 45 minutes.

I get done and ask what's next? The guy looks at me and says "Holy shit, you are fast". Then he goes over and looks over my nailing. He calls me over and goes "WTF is this"? What is what? I nailed off the shear. He then proceeds to tell me it's a 2 wall. A what? I'd never even heard of that before.

I ask to see the plans and sure enough it's a 2/12 wall with 3x at adjoining panels. I grab my gun and the whole box of nails and finish it up. After work I took the plans home and pulled up an online copy of the CBC. I was blown away by all the seismic stuff from foundation through the roof line. I learned a lot that night. What I learned the most was Simpson owns Cali buildings. lol

The retrofits are crazy cause everyone is unique and different. Kind of what i like about it. The metal stud shearwalls i got on the highrise are insane.

Tw is getting stupid

I'm fresh of a 30 day ban (my 1st ever ban) for doing jack shit.
I heard maybe yall actually had a sense of humor and would enjoy such things more and not run the forum as a dictatorship like tw is.

If I'm wrong let me know and I'll log out permanently and try to find somewhere else that isn't run by nazis.

That right there is why this forum got created in the first place. I got a 30 day first offense for saying "Gay ass mods"

My wife is gone for the weekend. I'm not putting on pants until shes 15 min away

Just gotta make sure you jerk off and listen to porn as loud as possible while she is gone.

When I lived in Santa Cruz and had to work in Los Gatos it was a 30 mile commute that usually took 2 hours. It's a big reason I moved to Bishop. lol

Have you ran someone over yet?

I always ask my buddy that is a conductor if he's hit someone yet. 5 years and still nothing. His dad has a handful under his belt though.

Sometimes I like to shit before getting in the shower. So much better to poo nekkid at home.

I poop naked 90% of the time. I usually shit once a day when I wake up, then straight to the shower. No need for clothes at that point.
