Like many of you I have acquired a fair number of skills partly out of necessity partly because I am to cheap to pay someone else to do it for me.
I learned the Mason trade in trade school ended up being a mechanic but not before learning a handful of other building skills. As a kid I hated learning mostly I hated school. As an adult I realize that it wasn’t the learning so much as sitting in a desk for hours on end everyday. I love learning everyday now everything I can my way hands on. Eventually I will have own homestead.
