That's a good way to put it.....if I make it....working through to 2023...It will be 50 years I have worked as a carpenter. I would like to give back some of what I've learned to someone worthy.
My young co-worker...Louis....is from Ecuador.... humble, respectful and very hard worker. He gets better at his job every day.
Pains me a little that most of the american boys I've encountered .....cant or wont put in the effort that it takes. Electrician just hired a young guy of chinese decent.......very hard worker....boss leaves him alone and all he does is work.....he calls me "Sir"......I let it go a few times until I told him.... "Alex...just call me Bob.
