I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.

Did you noticed any Change in importance of wood as a Material over the years?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Things have been fairly stagnant material wise since I've started. There are metal studs and ceiling systems, and they have their uses and caveats to usage. I prefer to work with wood when possible though it's interesting to do housing rehabilitations and see the old wood we used to use. The new quickly grown lumber cannot compare to the older woods.
