250 posts in 3463 days Location: Los Angeles, CA I grew up the son of a tradesman. Several builders, that my Dad worked for, sent their clients to our family paint/wall covering/floor covering store to pick out their colors for Formica counter tops and linoleum/vinyl sheet flooring. Dad and Grampa made Formica counter tops and Dad (during the summers my brother and I helped) would go out and install the flooring and counter tops. I saw all the trades working together on a large number of job sites. Some how I always gravitated to the electricians. In High school I met the Electronics teacher and the rest is history as they say. I have enjoyed a great career in the electronics industry and it has afforded me the opportunity to buy a large number of useful tools used to remodel several houses and in the last few years actually tackle wood working. My skill have steadily increased - especially with encouragement from a loving wife - wife says, hunny can you make this - I replay, ah, yes, but I need this new tool to do this particular operation, so in many ways she has been as instrumental in growing my skills as I have. I look forward now to the time where I will have shop space, and her connected sewing room, that afford me the opportunity to spread out and do larger projects - that day is coming soon here. -- bigfish "I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it."
