I suppose as a subcontractor I do own my own business - slid into carpentry almost 3 years ago and it's probably the job I've enjoyed most over the decades and go figure, my summer jobs when I was going to SAIT was carpentry. Not necessarily the cleanest occupation but money as a sub can range from $35 to $120 an hour depending on the work. Yeah, there's the outlay for tools but it is a bonus because I have more tools to play around with at home.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
