what other trades do you know

[reppy007]

Other than linework what other trades are you good at,or even a hobby that your pretty much good at,I know there are a few guys that know carpentry,thats pretty much the first trade that I learned as a kid,my grandfather was a carpenter,so that might be why I became interested.....heard lots of yelling from him if you made a stupid mistake.........theres alot in common when comparing the two trades,heights being just one of them.......plumbing too is related to both.......I used to want to be a weilder as a teen and still find that interesting......I thought they made big time money and some do.....others just make enough to survive......I guess another job that would be pretty much easy is being a lawyer.......what kid would want to do that.....I didnt......but looking back all it really takes is lots of reading and remembering,the law........theres no shortage of people that get in trouble,never has been and never will be............guess the only downside of being a lawyer would be the suits that you need to wear,to look important in front of a judge,ohh well.

Well put it this way reppy..... We had access all area passes which made us quite popular with the ladys....... We used to camp back stage..... And we worked long hours so we had the oppertunity to partake of certain substances to help us "stay awake". I will say no more. ;)

I dont know why I had a feeling that when you said (benifits)that you were talking about that,I too used to like those concerts,loved them........theres even one that I can barely remember,I wonder why.....hint...it was a Led Zepplin concert before the drummer passed away.:D

I played in a band till I became a lineman, couldn't be on call and playing somewhere.It the most fun making money I've had. Good benefits!

I could have stayed in construction, used to be a drywaller. I like helping others with it and have done most of the work on my house.

Ummmmmmmm I done a lot of resdential air cond /heating work on the side but I got out of it when the govt started gettin into it.

And I know exactly what you mean by that Poot. Red tape and politics meaning that many who worked in a particular trade were forced out of it.
