It has rained at some point about everyday for the past 5 days as we are entering spring rain season here in East TN, so my framers have been bouncing between our project and a new construction project as weather has dictated. 

Ask finish carpenters for framer referrals.

After demo is complete, let your framer install the frame.

You either like or you don.tOn my new build project in Oregon  90 homes  700k to  1 mil finished product our buyers expect perfection. and as such our subs are the best I can buy.. the ONLY thing I pay direct for is the lumber package and Truss package  and the framer does all the take offs for us and that is included in his framing labor billing..

Boots for tree cutters, framers, not dress shoes. 

However, the first 5-7 months would be the better time frame.

This can be a PITA unless you have a good Contractor/Framer.

In other words, take POWER from the masses.We can argue "intent" about the Constitutional Framers until the cows come home.

Back when I was a framer (way back) I bid for some contracts from one of them and he said my price was too high.

Now Im just on the hunt for a framer or carpentry crew to get the ball rolling.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
