Damn, I want that job!
Actually I get a lot of former carpenters applying at my cabinet shop. They just can't live on $10 an hour.

I see a lot more younger guys "Wearing the Orange vest"*

*Refers to working for Lowes or Home Depot. Used to be an insult to guys who seriously underbid a job and went bankrupt.

Trust me, you don't want that job. Someone who spends $250k renovating their bathroom is not well-balanced to begin with -- giving them people to "boss around" doesn't improve their mental health. The punch sheets (I think that's what they're called) are as thick as phone books and lawyer fees are built into the estimates.

On the other hand, the work pays really well. Combat pay...
