1) Cool thing about construction is you can be a Laborer but also learn other trades ,

I learned some carpentry like Framing a room. From starting at a young age in construction the things I’ve learned blows my mind, I could demo a 2 floor house completely stripping it down to the foundation by myself safely and within 48 hours

2)

Interests

I’ve always been interested in skyscrapers, then working on one from ground floor to the 43rd floor and seeing all the different trades doing there part, learning there’s a system of what goes first then what follows and watching how building really goes

Fast pace work and safely doing it

How there’s a system to building houses and skyscrapers there’s a system to demoing them as well, where to start the work your way to the next part,

Interested in how much money a company makes after demoing a building and saving all the copper on a big building is huge money
