 I earned my money the old fashion way,I sued for it! :devil



   Actually I am or was a cabinetmaker but didnt like working for others so I started a small contractors business and installed kitchens. I worked with solidsurface countertops{corion etc.} certified by dupont,did mostly new construction houses but also did many custom kitchens in older homes. I prefered the coustom stuff but the new homes paid the bills.

 It all ended 1 day when I lost an arguement with my tablesaw,it was right I should have taken a break but $$$ sometimes makes us do things we shouldnt.The fight only lasted 1 round and I was winning but the saw bit my ear off so it lost by DQ...... :huh

My degree is titled laser electro-optics. Now I work for UT dallas as a lab manager and the only lasers I see are the pointers used by self important professors.  :frown:

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

I'm in one of the worst off counties in the state but our mill is doing okay. It's actually a pallet factory, so we're relatively safe. We cut logs all the way down to 2x4's and 4x1/2's and can put out roughly 1000 pallets a day. Working conditions are kinda' lame but you've gotta' either suck it up or walk. There's an almost endless list of guys out here looking for work so the supervisors here don't care if you run out of Vagisil.

The town I live in is pretty lifeless but there's still money to be made, just not for everyone.
