Attend college classes, smoke weed, watch NetFlix, wait for spring.

I live in a temperate climate where one can work all year long... build decks even in the winter. Just takes a little longer for footings to cure.

Re: What Do You Do In The Winter?
Down here winter means having to wear long pants, we just keep on building.
I started off in Ohio working for my uncle who was a home builder. During the summer we would build several homes, shells only not even interior walls, during winter go back & finish them out. He was a nut case tho & I couldn't hang. Being a deck builder in an area like that I would think you need a second job, like plowing snow. My brother put a plow on his wrecker & made decent $ in winter. Last edited by deckman22; 08-13-2009 at 06:39 PM. |
