Habitat For humanity

So I joined up with a "build" for habitat for humanity today in Markham - 9th line and Rutherford.  It was really cool because I love that stuff and I was hoping to learn a thing or two about building.  I did.  We framed the garage and I learned some key tips about studs being 16inches on centre - even with a window... I also learned how to tie two walls together (and not with a whole lot of nails) - using a top plate and extending it 3.5 inches.  

Overall, a really cool day.... and way cooler then my 40 min run afterwards....I hope, after ironman to get back there for some more help...
