We will be starting a brand new house near the beach in three weeks because I am getting done with this hill side stuff. Too much red tape. I am not too good with framing (Too slow and precise). I too noticed there aren't too many young guys out in the field with the exception of a bunch of latino guys that are in their 30s. Most are in the 50s I have noticed. Framing and concrete work is not good for your body.
WE wouldn't frame out this house instead, I will sub out that portion of the work. |
Good luck. If I could find a sub... but then I do small jobs mostly. I did do a 300K reno from Oct 2017 to March, 21 weeks on the job. I did everything from framing, patch plastering, finish carpentry (mostly) and some painting, not to mention everything in between. The reason? Mostly pick up where various jobs were not totally complete or satisfactory to me. People walk the moment they get paid. Hold back 10% and they might just shine that on.
I should come to work for you. (No, not looking for a full time job
)
Oh, and I had the most fun welding repairs to some 1930's wrought iron gates. That's a strong hobby of mine ever since the 911 restoration days.
