Ok, so just thought I’d share this project my dad has been working on over the past year or so. He is a construction worker, as well as a poet and upon having a conversation with someone who seemed to look down on those who choose trades over cubicals, he decided to use his talent in poetry to promote construction in a positive light. I’m very proud to of been a part of this process with him and hope some of y’all who work in construction or other similar trades can draw inspiration for the message of the poem. Thank you.
My Dad was a home builder. Built his first house on his own at 19, and did it for over 40 years. I also chose work over college and worked with him and also did excavation till I was in my mid 30's and started flying.
It is amazing how many people look down on the working man.
Thanks for sharing.

20 years in business now as a general contractor and was a carpenter for many years before that, since high school. Dying trade for sure. Like said above, I too am amazed at how many highly educated clients we've had that can't do simple household projects. I guess I'm glad they can't.
My sister in-law has a science degree, she's a glorified test tube scrubber.
I’m being serious. Your ability to obtain a degree and be able to fix your plumbing is a extraordinary talent and not shared by many.
I can rub my tummy and pat my head too!
