Lots of part time work for that contractor over several years, plus endless repairs at this old farmhouse (that I finally inherited), provided the needed experience to get hired as a Journeyman Carpenter and then eventually join the union. That was invaluable when I moved on to buying/renovating rental property.How did you know I was a carpenter ? lol
My signature used to read 'Raised by wolves on a construction site'
But that first guy I worked for was a hoot. His parents had been Eastern European immigrants and his sense of American English occasionally missed the target. Something that always got laughs: "Today was so bad that I shoulda stood in bed!"
