    My Dad was a millwright who loved to build custom utility trailers. Now I know why he did so much standing and staring at those things when he was welding and building......lol Brings back a lot of memories watching you weld. I used to love the sparks flying when he was using the cutting torch. .......no plasma cutters back then. He would have loved one of those

    • @calholli
      @calholli Год назад +1

      It's the same thing when constructing a house. I've built custom homes and metal buildings for over a decade-- and you have to build everything in your head and look to the future to make sure there aren't any unforeseen problems that come up: But there always is anyway. lol.. You just have to try to catch them as you're gong along, or you'll be cutting things out and re-doing them more often than you want to admit.
