Electrical and carpentry (even a little welding at times) those side jobs are what pays for vacations and Xmas for my family. I’m already teaching my sons and daughter the same lessons.

You talking about people learning the trade work. I do agree with you about people not wanting to work with their hands. I was talking to my daughter in law that is a high school teacher. She was trying to tell me why it was not a good idea for the young men and women not to return to school right now. I brought up what about all the young men and women that was in vocational school and they miss their senior year in class with hands on training and the juniors that was supposed to start in vocational school this year did not get to start. It is young men and women that has miss vocational school training all over the USA. Just throwing that out there.

I think that our recent ice storm might get better attention to those in the trades to start getting a boost to bring in new people willing to learn and work and take pride in what they do. It will be a blessing to see them return and get respect. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The couple of times that I've laid out fits like these, I make the one perfect fit on both ends.
