You can criticize the guy for no PPE or cutting at an awkward angle, but there's nothing wrong with cutting wood with a chainsaw.

There used to be a used bookstore in Salem, MA not entirely unlike that.



You actually could pull a book out from near the floor, and generally the whole stack would stay up anyway, out of...habit, I guess? Sheer force of will?

You would hand the money for your purchase to a man through a tunnel of books. I never could figure out how he got in and out. Maybe he just lived back there.

It closed a few years ago, probably because the fire department looked at it for one second.

The books are so densely packed in there that I almost wonder if more books make it less dangerous at that point—probably not, because of convection.

It was the smell if there's ever a good stretch of high humidity or a water leak... not to mention the wonders of silverfish or cockroaches.

He's cutting decking for the roof. Which is supposed to be square and flush.

There's supposed to be a 1/8" gap between sheets for roof decking, so that moisture expansion doesn't cause the decking to buckle. I'm not saying I'd want to try to freehand cut a line with <1/8" deviation with a chainsaw, but there is some room for variation. Not a lot, but some.

As far as I'm aware, it's the same for any kind of plywood paneling (it's certainly true for e.g. house sheathing). You don't want to butt edges up directly against each other.

That probably means you need good straight edges, though, or you're going to have uneven gaps. Basically you shouldn't cut your roof sheathing using a chainsaw, I'm gonna stand by that statement.

I keep spotting the copy of Twilight on the ceiling.
Good sound insulation, I suppose. Personally, I would have just, you know, surrounded the TV with bookcases and filled them with books I actually have or want to read. And maybe made a print or something if I wanted the ceiling to look like books. But what do I know? I'm not an artist (he said "In summary, I was thinking of the best way to decorate the living room wall and ceiling of my new Art studio," so I assume he's an :airquote:artist:airquote:)

On the other hand, they're covering it with a steel roof, so it's much more tolerant of gaps than asphalt shingles. I'd still use a circular saw, though, myself.

Have fun dragging a generator to power up a saw for a few cuts. Also, factory edges go towards factory edges, the cut side is the bottom overhang. It could be off by 1", the roof don't care.

The book wall makes me angry for some reason.

They already had a generator and circular saw on the roof. Maybe he just didn't think it was safe to be going up down the ladder too often in those sandals.
