I'm currently taking a trade class for drywall/painting/waterproofing


one of those adult education courses at the high school. I'm pretty annoyed with myself for not taking these kinds of classes as electives back then, or even just a 'wood shop' class. Over the last 5 or so years I've really come to enjoy working with my hands.

I did some of the work on my house myself (replacing fixtures, toilets, appliances, doing some electrical work which Hurley01 helped with) it's just stupid to not have a basic understanding of this stuff. Tried to do drywall myself but it did not go well, hence why I'm taking the class. I hated that I had to pay someone to come fix my work. In January I'll be taking an electrical one and hopefully a plumbing one at some point.
