Framing Layout With a Story Pole—Mark It, Don’t Measure!

JLC Live vet Mike Sloggatt takes some of the guesswork out of framing measurements.

Mike Sloggatt has presented at just about all the JLC Live trade shows. He regularly commands a large crowd and always has a dialed-in set, and there’s pretty much nothing he hasn’t come across in his career in the trades. And he can explain it all tremendously well.

In this video, he talks about using a story pole to get layout spot-on for a window opening with a header, further pointing up the truism, one that I also learned at a JLC Live show long ago: Marking is better, faster, and more accurate than measuring.
