I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.

above sea level I have no idea, but one of my previous jobs a few years ago was the roof of a 9 story building. That was a hot summer job.

Do you love or hate heights?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm fairly indifferent to them provided there are safety measures in place.

Put me on the side of a cliff naked, I'm not going to like heights very much, but with the proper safety gear it's just like working anywhere else only a few extra steps needed to not randomly die.

What has been your favorite place to do work on?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My favorite thing to work on are private homes. Either rehabs or fresh builds. There's something personally satisfying about building something where people are going to have the most important memories of their lives. Whether it's first time homeowners, or a new family settling into a larger house to grow their family.
