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.

It's not really a 'carpenter' thing, but a decent pair of channel locks are great for many things.

Toothpicks are also something most people don't think about, but they can be wonderfully useful for when you have unscrewed pretty much anything as a filler to make sure the screws grab.

I'll edit if I think of other unconventional items that are good to have on hand.
