Hey From The Midwest


i have been lurking on the site for a while, posted a few times but thought it was time to introduce myself. I am 25 years old, owner of carpentry and remodeling company. I went to a technical college right out of high school and graduated in two years with an associates in carpentry and building construction. I built houses for two years for and decided to go out on my own. Have been doing that for a few years now and I love being my own boss

Re: Hey From The Midwest


I have been in construction since out of high school ( several years) and am now needing an Illinois roofing license. I caught several posts in another forum about the difficulty in passing the test. I have also read that the $99.00 study was worthless. Well......... call me a glutton for punishment but I would really like to know the web address to this site that offers this study guide and any other info that someone might have to offer. It seems that I have more job offers for roofing in my local area and I need this license. Thanks rfox

Re: Hey From The Midwest


no one in my family went to hazelwood west. I know of two other knapp families that are in st. louis because my brother went to school with both of them in high school. Do you still live in the area or do you work somewhere else.
