-- No problem. Yea as for the picture I'm thinking about taking mine down. Especially since I went into the sign store the other day and the lady had a hard time believing I've been in the military for over 15 yrs now.

And what do you mean ten years will do it? Do what? Didn't you say you were 35ish? Does that mean 7 years will do it for you?

-- In this profession you WILL NEVER get the respect of those in their 40's and 50's at our age. So about ten years from now you and I will gain the same respect as our elders here

To make up for the fact that I don't have 20+ years in the field, I go to college, constantly. In the last three years alone, I've taken 15 or so 17 weeks courses related to building safety and technology, indoor air quality & environmental building aspects. I use the knowledge I gained in my years as a framer and superintendent, but I don't rely on it, which means I make a great effort to stay current and always will. My construction experience is in the past, and the technology used even then has changed drastically.

-- The best thing you can do is volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and start building some homes. Trust me you'll gain alot more experience that way plus it's free and master builders love to teach you what they know. Plus you have other trades willing to give you some hands on such as electricians, plumbers, framers, roofers and such.
Dylan read above.

62 - When I started I was 29. Nobody took me seriously because of age.

Today, when they see my nurse push my wheelchair into the house they know I've been around and take me seriously. As I totter up the walk the agents and buyers rush to help me up the stairs or carry my tool bag.

When we get to the attic or crawlspace, most buyers or agents offer to get in there for me, so I don't have to strain myself.

Yep its a good life.

When you hit 40 you stopped counting?

Or you are 4o and you are going to stop counting?

I'm 40 and I stopped counting once that age was hit.

Though the knees and back make me feel like a 60 something that's had a rough life.

After 40 is when the relocation of matter seems to shift from one area to the next and wondering what is happening.

Gary, the grey gives us character and so does the wrinkles.
