Mark Yemma's step-by-step construction journal about creating a new upstairs room from unused vaulted ceiling space.

My new toy: a nail gun
When I built my home in the 1980s, every nail had to be pounded in manually. My brother Billy, who helped me with most of the framing, was quite adept at driving Polish 16-penny sinkers, the kind they sold in bulk at McCoys. This time around, I could afford to buy a nail gun, and boy is it fun!
