    I got a new job

     



    Finally i think i can give up construction forever Well ill still do side work, but not for a living! I got a job at a custom stair and rail shop, we do aluminum and wrought iron work, and it is the funnest job ive had, maybe not as much fun as the race shop, but close. Plus im getting the same pay as framing, and its five miles from the house, so really im getting a dollar raise by the gas ill be saving. The best part is now i have full access to all the scrap steel i can use, and full shop equiptment. Here`s a shot of a rail i made today.

    Hey John, I'm really happy for you bud. I know you have kind of been searching a bit for the right thing, and this is right up your alley. That piece you did is fantastic. Nice to see you find something that makes you so happy.

    Congrats HRD. It's important to have a job that you like. Espcially one that involves scraps of metal and the use of shop equipment. Sounds great.
    I may not be good but I sure am slow
