hanco;
Threads such as these are always interesting reading so thanks for starting it.

After working on a Saskatchewan farm for a bit, I went from house construction into working for a cabinet manufacturing plant for 27 years filling most positions including operations manager at the end of it's life.

For a short break in the middle I worked making fire fighting equipment that was mounted on helicopters - which was a fun year until that stopped and I went back into cabinets.

Anyway the last two years and a bit I've been working for a construction/development company doing the general repair and millwright work on the factory equipment, vehicles or doing whatever needs doing that day on one of the job sites.

Thanks again for the thread and all the best to you all in the upcoming hunting season.

Was a cutterhead builder. Retired.

i can do a lot of stuff, but mostly flooring right now.

And that's only when we want too ;]

Just a brain fart I had. A friend called me today with a problem. Sent him some parts. He is an AC repair guy, so he is pretty handy with tools. I would have gone over there, but am down for a little longer with broken ankle. He got it repaired. He comes running when one of my units go down. I have an Electrician friend that helps me too. We three helped each other build our houses. Saved a few bucks. Nice to have friends like that.
