Maybe you can explain

I watched a video of a guy framing a wall on the subfloor. The comments said that he should not be "walking on his knees". Another comment said "Dude get off your knees". What is so bad about scooting along on knee pads?

having done alot of renos i would have to imagine that these comments probably came from guys in the trade. doing that for 8 hours a day 5 days a week will probably do some serious damage. i'm sure its not an issue for home renos. but as anyone knows bending over all day doesn't help much either

We had a guy for a while we called Kneasels ( rhymes with measles). I used to think he was an old guy at 45 or so. His back and knees wouldn't handle framing so he became our trim carpenter. I mean he was down there already.
