putting up trusses or joists to a 2nd floor, its much faster to walk the wall than do it off ladders or set up scaffolding. much safer to use the scaffolding/ladders, but it takes so much time!! it takes some getting used to. especially a 2x4x14'h wall... 
in a light wind...
in a light wind... I`d rather work on trucks too Jack, carpentry isn`t my thing.

First off, it wasn't him.
Task- put up highway road sign (no easy task in the frozen north my southern friends)
Take one rigid shop vac, a pressure washer, 1 - 4X4 sign post and sign.
Pressure washer + shop vac = hydrovac
Finished product, one road sign installed in under 30 mins
Shop vac still works but makes a funny noise for some reason...
The boss doesn't know what really happened.

While I`m not real crazy about getting oil, grease and dirt on me your right Jack, clean means not much $$$ coming that day.

Thats a good story Sharon 
When it comes to carpentry, I actually dont mind it. I think it takes a certain type of person to do it for a living though, and for me it just isnt my thing, for a career. Lots of neat little tips and tricks to learn in that trade though, and carpentry skills do come in handy all over the place.
Im more of a wrencher kind of guy too. I like the problem solving aspect of wrenching on stuff. I started taking stuff apart at a young age, and never grew tired of it! (just ask my dad about that haha)
Morning P1, say hey to that Paul of yours too!

homeschooling is definitely better than public school I am finding out......I guess it doesnt matter where you are.....my kids have NEVER been sick so much.....and the only thing they are liking about public school is meeting other children.......
ho hum....what's a mom to do????
