Cuz we have too much dignity to display the carpenter cleavage as shown in the pic. I'm kinda in the middle at 37...so I wear jeans..they're just 3 sizes bigger than necessary to allow comfortable movement. Gotta crank the belt to keep them up.

For all you guys that nail wood floors, get yourself a couple of Flexeel hoses. They are well worth the money and sooo much easier to use.

The garden hose ,i assume you mean my air hose ? I'm not picky ,its a good rubber hose, pretty tough too. Like they say if it works then leave it alone.

All i wear are jeans, never did like those other types. Wearing sweats feels like i'm still wearing my pajama's.
I did learn the hard way when not to where the jeans with rivets ,after laying on a hardwood floor taping off the moldings for paint, rivets put a scratch on the floor thank goodness there was a peice of furniture that covered it. I had intentions of putting the drop cloth down afterward. Lesson learned.
