Another New Guy


Another new guy that drifted over from the JB box of fun. I will say this this place has a wide varrity of info other than just tile and stone etc. Hope to learm alot around theese woods as well. A little about me I am 32 years old live in Jacksonville Florida. Have been in the trade now for roughly 10 years. On my own bussiness for about 8 now. For thoose others that know me from Jb crew. I suck at typing due to the fact I lost a finger due to a jamb saw got me. Long story so yes my spelling sucks. I used to live in Port Saint Lucie Florida I see there is a guy that lives in J Beach. used to hang out there on the causeway all the time. well enough of me rambling on if I can take a poke at an answer i will if not I will offer the best i know.

We can always use another new guy and I'm the one from Jensen. They just high-bridged to Hutchison Island and are adding new rec and launching areas. Completion is due this year.

Hi Opie, welcome to the fray. Lost a finger in the jamb saw, ouch!! I can see how that would mess up your typing technique.

Re: Another New Guy


I can't help but to wonder how one would get his finger tangled in a jamb saw? Aren't the handles pretty far away from the blade on most models? I might be talking out of my anus, because I lost a finger tip in a hedge trimmer.

Re: Another New Guy


We seem to be losing a lot of appendages. I guess that I'm lucky, I can still count to ten. Twenty with my shoes off.

Re: Another New Guy


You're right Teetor there does seem to be a disturbing trend of folks loosing appendages, perhaps we need a new start a new Category Topic.......JOB SAFETY comes to mind. Of course who am I to talk, got a real nice scar from getting my arm caught in an old wringer washing machine, but I was only 4 at the time. Hmmm....Maybe that's why I still hate doing laundry :Thumbs:
