Common Sense

About This Project Working alone isn’t much fun, especially when you’re trying to do the work of two. No one’s around to hold the other end of the tape, support the other end of the board, or hand tools or materials up to the roof. And to top it all off, there’s no one to visit with either.
We can’t help you with the loneliness (get a dog), but we can offer some commonsense tips to make solo work as painless and productive as possible. The idea is to creatively use clamps, blocks, nails, sawhorses and scrap building materials in new, different ways. Once you start thinking like this, you’ll be surprised at how much you can accomplish by yourself.
