Umm, i'm only in 2 of them. The other guy is my old supervisor from my construction job. He lives a block from me and offered to help. But he can't do any lifting because he shattered his femur in a landslide last year. He's still in rehab to learn how to walk correctly, so he's a mad man for helping me roof and everything. But I already knew that after watching him fall off a dozen or so decks lol.

what's it like being related to bob vila?

looks great dude, i'm jealous!

Forgot to answer this. I'm the same exact way. My dad did carpentry work for about 20 years as a side buisiness building pooltables, cabinets and a lot of other shit. So I got to grow up helping out with all of that. Then when I was 19 I got a job at Built Stout Construction. Spent about 3 years working there. Loved every minute of it! It's one of the few things I know well, like you. I enjoy doing it. But since the housing market crashed it doesn't look to good for quite a while. So i'm doing other things until the company picks back up again. Since my supervisor shattered his femur and pretty much can't do construction anymore, the owner said he's gonna put me in charge of a crew. So i'm looking forward to that day :) He was telling me it would pay about $22-$25 per hour after he saw how well I did in my backyard. It's my choice as to whether it's under the table or not. Wich i'de rather pay taxes and get a little somethin at the end of the year. But that probably wont happen soon, so until then i'll do what I can to make ends meet. For now i'm working a distribution job for a Sharp Electronics distributor. But the hours aren't great. Work 8.5 hours a day, but it's through an employment agency, so when work slows down they don't work me. Oh well, it's moneys!

Work is slow for me too :/.
