Damn. Things must truely be harsh there then. A skilled Master Carpenter can earn quite a bit of money, and depending on the time of year, it can be even more. My grandfather paid for his last car in cash with the money he earned from doing carpentry in his spare time. The messed up thing is, many master carpenters in Maryland do quite well on their own, but teach school for the health insurance. My mother's biggest regret was that I had severe allergies and asthma. I would have made an excellent carpenter, like my grandfather. Ah well, at least I can funnel my handiness into Gunpla building. -- Linwood Foster, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moderator 3 of 6, Rec.Games.Mecha Moderation Team 10th Lyran Guards, The Revenants. http://www.geocities.com/the_devillin -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
