[AMA] I am a professional construction carpenter. Feel free to ask me anything.

I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.

Rank in order: painter, plumber,.electrician, deckhand, roofer, carpenter.

Nah. Each part is integral to getting the job done (though deckhand is generally a different type of job altogether).

For example while I can paint I can't do it nearly as efficiently as an experienced painter. Same is true for each of the trades. I can do a decent amount of each of those trades but when it comes to certain more advanced topics, I'll gladly let a professional come do the work.
