And, just for a little exercise in male bonding here, I'm a carpenter too (among other things) and so is Bobabode. So, we're all three Brothers of the Festering Splinter! Ain't that totally awesome?

You both do it for a living every day or you're just hobbyists?

We're both liberal dilettantes. We don't do anything for a living. We just feed off of the government teat while suckers like you struggle to survive.

Americans, by and large, have absolutely no idea whatsoever what it really means to struggle. They think they're being oppressed if the FDA tries to limit the amount of fat and sodium in their hamburgers. The had a fit over the demise of Twinkies. This persecution complex so many of us seem to have is a fucking joke. Seriously.

Leave the country for a while. Visit Africa, the poorer Asian nations, or some of the bloody cartel ridden South American shitholes.

You will come back feeling like you live in paradise. I did.....and still do.

So, people in a state with a small population and very little industry are having a hard time? And it's the governments fault?

I'm confused...wouldn't it be local gov't fault on a state and city level for failing to attract industry? Where does the private business owner come into this?

I'm an ex piece work roofer, Kyle. I wised up and if it's in a residential dwelling? I can replace, repair and upgrade it. Can I frame a roof from a stack of lumber, yeah but factory manufactured trusses make a shitload more sense to me. No, I don't frame every day but I've branched out into most every other aspect of residential construction.
Here's something I built by my lonesome. A couple of patio covers in the Crystal Cove section of Newport Beach, Calif.
Not bad for a hippie liberal with size 11 Redwings and a 28 oz. ripclaw?

I'm high maintenance, Paul...

Hobby stuff. Sorry for the dust. Wormy chestnut box for my wife on top of a walnut veneered box for one of my Marantz 2270s.

Where did you find the wormy chestnut? That is getting very scarce.
