Good. This is family apprenticeship.

You may not work for someone in the trade, but you’ll know a lot about doing your own projects.

My grandfather taught me quite a bit about carpentry, electrical wiring, and plumbing.

It’s not tradesman level knowledge, but as I said, you can accomplish a lot of your work around the house without having to call someone in all the time.

My grandfather taught me quite a bit about carpentry, electrical wiring, and plumbing.

I have fond memories of learning carpentry from my grandfather. He helped my dad upgrade his house with additional rooms built in the basement and attic for me and my siblings. That experience helped me in getting part-time jobs during high school in construction, and has served me well remodeling my own homes and having my daughters help and learn from me.

Now I'm showing my granddaughters tips about building and making things with tools. Kids are never too young to learn how to do work. Plus I make sure they learn safety when using tools, despite what that fool reporter says you can teach kids to be safe.
