I worked as an aluminum/stainless steel fabricator for years and loved every minute of it. Folks would tell me what they wanted and then it was my job to create it. And each piece / job was individual and we built alot more than gates lol. So much fun and extremely good money.
That's old Rusty on the far left, helluva guy. That's me in the far back, I was cutting steel for a Semi bumper. On the right is Brian and Paul. That's Mike in the middle, boss's best friend and our supervisor. He didn't know much about welding or fabricating, but he had the attention of the owner's wife so we knew he would go far.. 🤣

I haven't read Bill's book, but have it to read. Maybe he is a famous author in disguise? He is a great guy and has contributed much to this site!

When your other half thinks her remodeling skills are up there with Chip and Joanna Gaines but you know that they align more with Ricky and Lucy Ricardo, she is more hindrance than help. You improvise.
