Hello Everyone,

Just joined the site since it seems like every time I'm googling something that has to do with the construction trade this site pops up. My father is a custom furniture maker/trim carpenter and so I grew up in the shop and owe my skills and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) to him. Before the recession hit I was a project manager for a custom home builder and upon being laid off about 9 months ago I started my own business. I'm much happier now that I'm back doing hands on work and not baby sitting different subs. I live and eat construction and woodworking and am a bit of a tool snob. I believe in doing things right and not going around thinking I know everything. Thats why I love places like this because you have access to peoples knowledge. Even though there are quit a few posers that I've seen posting it seems that they get pointed out quickly. I look forward to listening, learning, and sharing.
