because i feel the need to watch this b4 the new one comes out )

Hes got neat toys. Batman is a remolding mofo!

Come on, what did you really do, work for a contractor, trial and error, classes at the local community college?

anyone have any plans for the 4th?

I'll be at work, like I am on almost every holiday.

yeah, same here . I worked everyone last year -- being salaried makes it better:shakes head:

Well I get double time so I'm not complaining. Usually the dumb **** pilots are out in force though.

Soooooo tired

I'd let a place fire me before I worked a holiday as a salaried employee.

My mom was a general contractor on top of owning lots of property.

I began doing framing, demolition, drywall, electrical, plumbing, and finishing carpentry at age 10 or so.

Its in the blood on my moms side. At age 3 my mom got me my first tool set.
The next day she saw water streaming from under the bathroom door. She walked in and found me with my tool set. I disconnected the water line to the toilet, separated the tank from the toilet and loosened the base from the wax flange in the floor. lol.

Anyway,

The part about working with a a drywaller that was an ex coke runner is true. His name was Jimmy and he taught me mudding tricks and tips that I've used to this day. He is still the best mudder I've ever seen.

:happydance::happydance::happydance:

lots of air-shows, hopefully nobody gets any wise ideas

Ehh , it's not too bad. They compensate some with "comp" time to burn , but I only work 32 hours/week , get paid for 40...so I'm usually the first one they call

Cool. I wish I were a bit handier. I can fix some stuff, but couldn't do a full remodel job if my life depended on it. Those home depot classes are a joke.

takes practice mait
