I've beat the shit out of my body broken fingers, toes, arms, legs, cracked ribs, more stitches than I can remember, I've ridden ladders down telephone poles and walls, rode a few to the ground, I've 2 hernias repaired, and I've been shocked by power lines while 30 feet in the air. But you rub some dirt on it and carry on. Like a man. Haha

I've worked 6 days a week for years. I smoked pot for almost 15 years, it didn't help with the pain, it just took my mind off it.

@Bayernmensch#6240 is the air in your house a problem? If so maybe one of the hyperallegenic one but usually that's for people with abnormal allergies.

2017-09-08 20:45:33 UTC  

I have em too but not bad enough I need to filter the air

2017-09-08 20:47:41 UTC  

@Deleted User You're the man. Did owning more than 1 property turn you into a jack of all trades?

2017-09-08 20:49:08 UTC  

Haha no I got my start doing trim carpentry on small scale remodels working for a good contractor

2017-09-08 20:49:51 UTC  

Did it for years then got a (((media))) job which looked better to banks

2017-09-08 20:50:11 UTC  

Made some smart purchases that cash flowed very well early on

2017-09-08 21:09:32 UTC  

Oh nice, what is that you do now? If I can support a brother I will.

2017-09-08 21:40:27 UTC  

How much do finish carpenters make? I get that it's based upon location. As a crate technician in LA I make $20/hr...

2017-09-08 21:51:45 UTC  

Carpenters are the one of lowest paid trades unfortunately. But if you're the contractor you have no limit. Or you could get on with a big company and do well.
Like the electricians said the end goal is to become the contractor.

2017-09-08 23:30:08 UTC  

Yeah I thinking of getting my contractors license

2017-09-09 01:34:28 UTC  

I got mine but hardly use it.

2017-09-09 01:35:04 UTC  

@RevStench Now I'm a director for a yuuuge media company. Total fuckin pox all day long

2017-09-09 01:35:19 UTC  

Poz*

2017-09-09 01:36:26 UTC  

Trim carpenters/artisans can make decent money but yeah they don't make as much as elec, plumbers, etc unless your doing work like @RevStench

2017-09-09 01:37:09 UTC  

Your type of restorations are priceeeey .....

2017-09-09 01:37:53 UTC  

For sure, but it's either me or you can call this guy

2017-09-09 01:38:10 UTC  

Hahaha no joke

2017-09-09 01:38:16 UTC  

That's plywood holding the sash together haha

2017-09-09 01:39:35 UTC  

@Pendragon#1229 If you can run small jobs as a contractor and hire subs and do all the carpentry yourself you can make more than just running trim but it's more headaches. I did that for a few years

2017-09-09 01:40:38 UTC  

@Pendragon#1229 You in LA? I built sets for a few years too a looong time ago. That pays decent

2017-09-09 01:41:49 UTC  

Oh cool @Deleted User I bet that was a lot of fun and headache. Got any set you can brag about?

2017-09-09 01:42:41 UTC  

It's a shame carpenters get stiffed on moneybecause there are so many neat things to do.

2017-09-09 01:59:04 UTC  

@RevStench It was NY in the 90s sonit was fun. The only noteworthy set was probably upright citizens brigade on comedy central

2017-09-09 01:59:55 UTC  

No way, I love UCB. Little Donnie is my favorite

2017-09-09 02:00:04 UTC  

I was just a helper basically. And I put together a ton of flats and stages. Then moved back down here and started working with that contractor

2017-09-09 02:00:14 UTC  

Haha little donny

2017-09-09 02:00:40 UTC  

I helped build the inner sanctum set

2017-09-09 02:00:55 UTC

2017-09-09 02:01:46 UTC  

Carpentry is one of the most underrated and underused professions

2017-09-09 02:15:50 UTC  

That's really cool man, what neat place to get a start in building.
It's a shame that carpentry has become what it is. I've seen articles over in the Netherlands where they are building multi story buildings with wooden frames again. That's really cool.

2017-09-09 02:16:30 UTC  

Morgan cars still use a wooden frame, that would be a dream job.

2017-09-09 02:40:04 UTC  

Wow that's nuts

2017-09-09 14:24:24 UTC  

That's pretty cool. I wish there was a market for homes like this. I could do this type of work for pleasure.

2017-09-09 14:25:28 UTC  

This guy has making shakes down to a science. I've pretty much memorized his technique, it's good information.

@RevStench You ever seen the Dick Pernake doc?

2017-09-09 17:29:25 UTC  

Think it was on PBS years ago but it's on YouTube. Ex navy pilot moved to the Alaskan wilderness and built everything by hand. Amazing he filmed all of it on 16mm

2017-09-09 17:39:31 UTC  

No I haven't, I'll look it up.
People show me video's like that house all the time, I appreciate it. But most of the these people say they do things the old ways then I watch and I only see where they skipped the old hard ways for modern things. Like that house they used rebar. No one used rebar for foundations. They also ran the trees through a saw.
