I started my building and construction career after my tour of duty in the U.S.M.C.
My work experience started in ceramic tile and soon led to marble, granite & stone. After 15 years my masonry skills are quit rounded also. Five years of Kitchen & baths made me realize I liked working with wood.
Wood is my passion. I love wood working and milling wood. I am very knowledgeable in the following trades, and way above average in most. Land excavation, and under ground utilities, foundation, block, concrete, framing, siding, cedar shakes, roofing, drywall, Spackle, paint, repairs, trim, tile, stone work, oak railing, hard wood flooring, punch list, master fixer of almost every thing inside and out of any house. Extensive renovation and high quality wood working experience. I also have novice plumbing and electrical experience. All together, 34 years of doing
all this stuff will give you some great tips. Feel free to test my experience and knowledge with your questions. Thanks for visiting and stop back soon. –Bob
Two Ladies Talking in Heaven
1st woman: Hi! Wanda..
2nd woman: Hi! Sylvia. How’d you die?
1st woman: I froze to death.
2nd woman: How horrible!
1st woman: It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
1st woman: So, what happened?
2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
1st woman: Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer—we’d both still be alive.
PRICELESS
An elderly man in North Carolina had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up really nice, along with some picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn’t been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. When he came closer, he realized it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end to shield themselves.
One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave!”
The old man frowned and replied, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.” Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m here to feed the alligator.”
Moral of the story: Old men may move slow but can still think fast.
During a private “fly-in” fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane.
And a bear smelled it.
This is what he did to the plane.

Hello every one, I have a question from a reader that is not in my area of expert.
someone Help me out :
Question: Why is snow white and ice clear? Aren’t they just different forms of water?
Here’s a truly heartwarming story about
the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and some construction workers
that will make you believe
that we all can make a difference when we give a child the
gift of our time.
A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant
lot.
One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the
empty lot.
�
The young family’s 5-year-old daughter naturally took an
interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day
observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them
’gems-in-the-rough,’ more or less, adopted her as a kind of project
mascot..
�
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had
coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her
feel important.
At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope
containing ten dollars.The little girl took this home to her mother
who suggested that she take her ten dollars ‘pay’ she’d received to
the bank the next day to start a savings account.
�
When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed
and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check
at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, ‘I worked last
week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us..’
�
‘Oh my goodness gracious,’ said the teller, ‘and will you be working on the
house again this week, too?’
�
The little girl replied, ‘I will, if those assholes at Lowe’s ever deliver the fuckin’ sheet rock…
Kind of brings a tear to the eye – doesn’t it?

1. Measure a piece of wood two times and say the measurement out loud, this will help you remember.
2. When working with cement, wet the surface, this will make it stick much better.

A married man was talking to his buddy, and he said, “I don’t know what to get my wife for her birthday, she has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I’m stumped.”
His buddy said, “I have an idea, why don’t you make up a certificate saying she can have 60 minutes of great sex, any way she wants it . . . she’ll probably be thrilled.”
So the fellow did. The next day his buddy said, “Well? Did you take my suggestion?”
“Yes, I did,” said the fellow.
“Did she like it?” His buddy asked.
“Oh yes! She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the forehead and ran out the door, yelling ‘I’ll be back in an hour!’”
