[speaker001:] um I guess I I've rented most of the time so I I haven't done much home repair uh I do small little little odd jobs
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah I I live here at home with my parents and uh not too long ago uh we uh put in a a storage room out in the in the back part of our hall here we took took part of the garage and turned it into inside of the house and walled it off and put cabinets and stuff in and took a good gee probably two months to do all of it working on weekends and stuff like that
[speaker001:] yeah I I worked uh with a guy uh it was quite a few years ago uh and um he built uh his own homes stuff like that and
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I I helped him quite a bit as from from everything from the carpentry work right electrical plumbing just about everything
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so it was kind of fun to do that
[speaker002:] yeah the I uh I worked construction on a a new American Airlines building out here for couple of weeks hanging hanging six stories off a side of a building from scaffolding isn't my idea of fun
[speaker001:] no no no no that's uh
[speaker002:] I prefer to keep my feet on the ground and stuff like that but uh
[speaker001:] yeah yeah no I had a have a job kind of delves into uh construction a little bit where uh we worked on wooden railroad bridges
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh some of them uh in the country uh get pretty high and and you're overlooking uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh a small body of water mostly rocks down there and uh
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I can imagine that's uh
[speaker001:] and you're just yeah so uh it's not fun to work too high but uh you know the uh I think more what they're talking about is into the the homes and
[speaker002:] yeah the the home improvement stuff
[speaker001:] basically most of that I've you know done some minor minor repairs electrically and minor repairs plumbing uh stuff like
[speaker002:] yeah my my dad and I are always having to fix light switches or put in new new uh outlets and stuff because you know mama wants another another outlet somewhere so we go climbing around in the attic and dropping wire and cutting holes in the wall
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I I enjoy doing a lot of projects like that but not alone
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] I I prefer having someone that uh has some knowledge in that and and I uh help and learn and uh go that route but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] if I had to tackle something you know building an addition totally by myself uh I wouldn't enjoy it at all
[speaker002:] yeah it's it doing something like that you have to you have to plan it all out and make sure that you've got all your your measurements and calculations down before you ever even start to knock a hole in a wall or something you know
[speaker001:] yeah uh
[speaker002:] but uh we didn't I mean we that that room that we built we put they we built cabinets and stuff and made a little desk top and my mom put uh uh some tile on the on the desk top so it's it's like a it's it's a just a flat board that has tile on it
[speaker001:] hm uh-huh
[speaker002:] it she doesn't she doesn't ever go back and sit in it or write on it or anything I think she just did it for decoration
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] but uh
[speaker001:] well sounds like quite a project there
[speaker002:] yeah it was it was sometimes fun
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I guess lot of times when uh I don't know when you're pressed for time and have to do it and wanna get it done then it doesn't become fun anymore
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] I think the the smaller projects tend to be more fun something you can finish in you know maybe a week or something but
[speaker002:] yeah thing things that that that take a long time or you're doing them in the middle of the summer when it's hot is is not fun
[speaker001:] yeah yeah well uh especially uh stuff like roofing when you're doing it in
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] ninety to a hundred degree weather and uh
[speaker002:] and the sun's bouncing off the roof to start with and so yeah it's even hotter and
[speaker001:] yeah yeah for sure
[speaker002:] working with uh the the black the black tar paper it that stuff gets really hot
[speaker001:] yeah and then it almost seems like lot of that uh tile up there is is almost starting to melt in your hands
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] it's real hard to handle
[speaker002:] yep
[speaker001:] well I don't know about you but I'm I'm about out uh
[speaker002:] yeah I I I I think we're at a at a loss here
[speaker001:] yeah so I think we'll just end it short
[speaker002:] okay it was nice talking to you bye-bye
[speaker001:] yeah bye
