I don’t cut many bricks down to an 1/8th of an inch. But I like the name cunt hair.
I use mm’s never inches is easier than doing fractions (if your a simple Bricky with a heart of gold in a complicated land that is)

I have to use both and usually have to get it within a cunt hair.

Over here in the states, in my trade, we read off tapes a little different than most any other tradesman on a jobsite.
For example: 24 and 3/8” we call out 24 and 3!
2-1/2” would be 2 and a half or 2 and 4!
When need to speak of sixteenths, we do it like this:
24-3/16” would 24 and 1 strong. 24-9/16” would be 24 and a half strong or 24 and 4 strong.

Might seem stupid, but we are the ones taking the most measurements of material all day and putting up the most material all day on all jobs. It’s just quicker to do it that way.

Yup, Regular ol nailbangers do it too. They’re included in when I say “my trade”
I’m a semi-retired union lather. Drywall. Lath. Metalstuds. It’s all ours. We are UBC. Nailbangers are our brothers. I’ve worked with my nailbanger brothers allot. Been known to dabble a bit too.

I just clean up the small indiscretions and make it pretty. Damn I'm glad I don't do that stuff anymore.

I’m kinda glad I don’t work my trade anymore too. My body is falling apart. And I have to build me a new fucking house starting soon. Built my new 2000sqft shop started last summer. That was fun.

Some fucking bullshit. I thought I was done doing this crap!

I just want to go back to finishing my gardening chores in the morning. And than either go fishing or golfing the rest of the day. Not too much to ask imo.

I went to a dentist yesterday because my tooth, an older crown in the very back on the top right next to where I had a wisdom tooth pulled years back. That wisdom tooth impacted and fucked up this one that had to have a crown on it because of it. Just saying that because I don’t want you guys thinking I got a grill with a bunch of
Missing teeff.
It hurts like a mother fucker. He couldn’t do shit because xrays don’t show through the metal of the crown.
So got an appointment with a different dentist this morning . One with more skills i guess? Lol. I don’t know, but i have a feeling im gonna have a tooth pulled. I should have just told the guy yesterday to pull the fucker. After the guy yesterday fucked with that tooth as much as he did, I was in more pain than before seeing him. My brain hurt.

I hope you get that resolved soon. Dental pain sucks. I've got one of those snaggletooth yuck mouths. And I had and used dental insurance.

Thanks man.
I hadn’t been to the dentist since the fire. I paid cash at the last place. Was up to date on cleanings and everything.
If I still had that dentist I would have had him check it out months ago.
But getting a new dentist and getting my teeff good is another part of getting shit back to normal i guess.
