Home Improvement Today?

Back is super tight
But our deck is now to my liking.

 

I'm digging the cattle wire and oversized shelf on the top rail. Very well thought out and nicely done

 

Thanks
Not bad for a plumber

 

me too haha

 

Yea
I can only do so much and I still have a day job

 

You said it, scary bad.

 

I'd drink a beer at that bar.

 

There are clients I'll walk away from as well. Ditto for just about any trade or profession you can think of.

 

yeah it was a joke

i've had my own residential building company for 20 years , 32 years a carpenter

 

Noub.

 

So what magnification reading glasses are you using now to measure cunt hairs?

 

Metric system has you covered.

 

1.0

 

Not bad...yet.

 

Am again
I’m tired and I have my day job tomorrow

I need some bar chairs so I can kick my feet up better

 

Have you noticed a rapid decline in the number of qualified journeymen carpenters in the last 10 years? My company has hired more then a few "journeymen" over the last few years that don't know how to cut rafters, have no clue how to layout a door or a window and don't even get me started about their ability to read plans. It's like somehow the new journeymen standard is if you own bags, tape, square, saw, and a nail gun your a journeymen. Rant ongoing. lol

 

Trades are gone from schools here. Employers and me want experienced helpers not ones to train and watch them quit after digging a hole

 

I honestly think its the shift away from "learn on the job" to "learn from a book"

 

And judging by some of the new homes we looked at, owning a square but not knowing how to use it was perfectly acceptable.
