I was a Commercial and Industrial Painter for 25 yrs- with my SMDH we also sandblasted and painted heavy equipment-prior to this I was a house framer. I tried roofing but hated it.I was never one to do "girlie"things being raised as the only girl my brothers taught me how to do what they did and its been a blessing to be able to do things for myself -I have a better tool room then most menfolk I know.- (its actually bigger then my sewing room) now I'm retired and hate not having enough to do :( The days seem to drag on and on
