Abstract: Sized and shaped attachments made of suitable materials and having a predetermined thickness for straightening and replacing studs, joists and rafters, squaring of openings and for aligning a plurality of the studs, joists and rafters in the framing for a building to provide a planar application surface to which exterior finishing members can be affixed. The attachments have sized and spaced openings thereon operatively associated by frictional engagement with fastening members each having a slidable member thereon to enable the attachments or devices to be adjustably fastened to a given stud, joist or rafter so a plurality of such adjusted attachments or any replacement attachments can be aligned with each other to provide the planar application surface. Methods are provided to align a multiplicity of adjoining studs, joists or rafters, to square and to square and align openings with such attachments to provide the planar application surfaces.

Abstract: A pair of goggles for protecting and ventilating eyes of an individual. The inventive device includes a lens positionable over the individual's eyes. A mounting assembly is coupled to laterally opposed sides of the lens and is extendable about a head of an individual to secure the device relative thereto. Vent assemblies are directed through the lens and cooperate to circulate ram air between the lens and a wearer to preclude a formation of fog and moisture within the lens.
