			A thread for tradespeople to discuss the industry, tools, and maybe even network. NOT a thread for DIY'ers to seek help, sorry.
 so, who works in the trades on RS?

			A carpenter since 1986.
 Networking is the essence. It has kept me busy over the years.
 
 I've learned so much from those around me the best way to thank them is to carry forward to the apprentices, who, by the way, have taught me much.
 
 
 What's your trade Mindbomber?

			I've been an insulator since 2006.
 Long-term, I plan on leaving construction or I'd be looking to become a carpenter.
 
 What type of work do you do; multifamily, customs, commercial?

 No longer on the tools however. Although most days I find myself wishing to go back.

 |  Commercial, I specialize in doors and hardware (the gravy). Mostly schools, hospitals, prisons, public works stuff with an occasional office building. 
If you are good at twisting wrenches you'd make a good door guy.  
Go with the apprenticeship programme and get the ticket and the network.

			Electrician: Red Seal, FSR Class B
 I've been working since 2005. Way back when, I started off apprenticing for my father who is an electrician with over 30 years experience.
 
 I've been doing residential for most of my career. Now, I get to work on ridiculously high end houses half of the time.

I'm sure it's the same for most trades but the margins are so low in the lower mainland right now it's tough to get decent work with any money in it. If you go East to Alberta or Sask the margins are much much higher but now you're dealing with manpower issues. It's like you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.
