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.

In some places there are even things called 'Tool Libraries' where you can rent out whatever kind of tool you'd need for a job. Which can save even more over just buying it.

Though if you wanted a perfectly straight cut, there are specialized tools for doing just that which cost quite a lot more than just $50.
