Re: This for any of you that are self employed doing Carpenter work Jobs
Years ago, like 40 or so, we lived in a trailer house in a nearby town. The local high school bought the trailer park and gave us 4 months to move out. We had bought 2 acres and had saved 10k from both of us working all the time. I had limited carpentry experience but I had some electrical and some plumbing shkills. I bought books and crammed all I could in a few short days. I poured a footer, laid the blocks and built a house in 12 weeks and 3 days. I hired only the carpet laid. The rest I either did or got help from friends. I have spent a lifetime paying back to those that helped. I get it and people really don't understand what it takes to be proficient in construction skills. I hope there is a generation following us old guys that learn the trade. It is rewarding.
