My name is Tyler Dixon and I grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho. I have 10 years of valuable carpentry experience. I spent my first 5 years working for a Post-Frame company in Washington state ranging from concrete work, framing, siding, windows, and finish work. Starting from the bottom working my way up to a foreman position managing jobs. After the Post-Frame chapter I was fortunate enough to join the Carpenters Union Local 70 based in the Seattle area. \nAs a Journeyman carpenter, this is where I started to specialize in finish work ranging anywhere from casework, millwork, doors and frames etc. Top notch work was a must in the Union. \nI started Sage Timber Construction with pride and customer service in mind. It’s our job to make sure your vision is brought to life. Never satisfied until it is! \nSage Timber looks forward to working with you!

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.
If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
