  • That’s my experience, I framed houses for a few years after college and the architects thought they were gifts from God. Engineers were mostly cool, though. Most of them would understand “Your design is dumb and here’s why. We’re gonna have to change it” and they’d usually learn from it.

    My best day on a job site was watching the architect wearing zero safety gear walk right into a temporary support for a wall. It was fantastic.





  • There’s a one time $20 fee to remove ads. There’s also a thing for increased functionality that’s separate and includes removing ads using a monthly or an annual subscription option, and there’s also a lifetime option. I opted for the lifetime one at $100 because I figure I’ll be using it for a few years, I’m happy to support the dev, and I really want all the bells and whistles.


  • I got close being a framer from 2012-2016. 6 12s in construction was pretty fulfilling and I really liked working with my hands even if the pay was crap. Now I’m an office drone and it’s just okay doing a regular 40 for waaay more pay and benefits. I keep doing it because now I have the space to do and buy the stuff I want and not feel economic pressures like I used to.

    Sometimes I miss the blue collar job, though. I’m glad I did it but I’m even more glad I made the career change.
