October 06 CT Consensus (open For 2 Weeks)…

Peladu

What Group would you put yourself into?

All it gave me was 10 spots .... I consider roofing and trades like that as Carpenters.
And also CATV and Telephone guys as Electrical...

I think it's pretty well thought out...

Mike Finley

"other".

Peladu

interesting

Double-A

I tend to think of myself as a plumber, but I'm in general contracting now.

Mike Finley

Really? What group would you put me in?

Keep it clean now.

Peladu

From your posts I would put you in Businessman,

But, that's not an option, so for you I think Carpenter since the bulk of your work consists of Carpentry.... Unless it's tile....I dunno.

Mike Finley

Carpenter was the closest one I could think of too. I consider myself to be a remodeler. But that might be too general, but that's pretty much a good description. A little, drywall, a little paint, a little plumbing, a little electrical, a little mechanical, a little tile, a little framing, a little trim, a little finishing work... put me down for jackass of all trades.

Double-A

I'll trade you one jackass for one ski trip.

I thought this site was 100% for painters now! Speaking of which my sister needs one in RI.

Mike and I pretty much do the same thing, remods, kitch & bath.

I think you need 2-3 polls Peladu to cover everyone.

Just from the forums here there are:

1. Carpentry
2. Construction
3. Drywall
4. Electrical
5. Excavation & Site Work
6. Flooring
7. HVAC
8. Landscaping
9. Masonry
10. Painting
11. Plumbing
12. Remodelling
13. Specialty Work

And a few more I can think of:

14. Framing?
15. Demolition?
16. Other Please Explain

That's how I would do the poll. I know you weren't asking me, but there's my 2 cents anyway!

Peladu

#14. Would be a Carpenter


But, it only gave me 10 spots and I don't remember their being a demo company.

I didn't want to put other, because too many guys here would put other, since they do landscaping and electrical....you know what I mean.

This is the best I could do with the limited tools I have ....

Click the numbers and you will see who voted for what...

Tom R

I didn't see hammerhead, - - so I put in for carpenter . . .

Tscarborough

Just make it a poll where you can check more than one option...if that is an option.

Peladu

Ummm, if this poll is so confusing, don't add yourself.

dantheman

I'd call myself a carpenter, but most of my coworkers call me a "wood butcher..."

Since there was nothing for 'roofer' I just picked 'electrician'. They're basically the same.

Nathan

Interesting Poll.

I bumped the max number of poll questions to 15 now and added a few new trades. Hope you don't mind.
