So after working with my grandfather and my father this past weekend i must have done something good because my grandpa asked me to help him this next weekend with somethings and a little extra cash in my pocket. He said this would be a good way to start the construction job this summer and i could get a little head start before taking classes at kirkwood next fall. He called me yesterday and asked me if i would want to pick up the site after they were done. He said i would get to watch them do like the finishing touches on the project. I will be like picking up the loose nails and i will be getting use to measuring boards and finding studs in the house and stuff. I got to thinking that this might be actually pretty fun. He taught me a lot on Sunday and
hopeefully i will learn a lot the next weekend. I also drove by some of the houses he just finishe building and they were pretty nice. I got to thinking when i start to work i can help build some of these big houses and maybe build my own house like that. My grandpa has done a lot of projects in his days he told me about some of them and how he loves his job. He has remodled the Best Western Longbranch hotel in Cedar RApids, the Hacienda Las Glorias in Cedar Rapids and he has built about four houses in my family alone... including mine. These are just some of the jobs he talked about but, I look back to when i was little and i remember going to see him at a job site and running around wanting to help. Now look at me i want to do this as my career. And i want my kids to come help me and want to help and then they can pursue this as a career. i am very excited to finallly get started in this and hopefully I will have a job working with my grandpa by the start of next week. IT is all just coming so fast and im getting excited. ....
