my dad knew how to do everything but there was one thing i always wanted to learn. my dad and his brothers know how to remodle rooms knock down wall and remodle rooms, they never went to school for that or anything. i've always been interested on how to remodle a room like a basement or a kitchen, but here the sad part my dad is in prison. i remember as a little kid he would always want to teach me how to do what he does but i was always worried about playing outside. this past year my aunt got her bathroom remodled by home dopt and they knocked down walls took everything put knew walls up and it looked so nice so then i decided i wanted to do the same thing they were doing as a career or at least a side job. does anybody know if there is schooling for that or does anybody know the name of that career

This would simply be a home remodeling career. It would be under construction. There are schools that offer this. Look for trade schools or community colleges in your area that offer this major. You could also try talking to local construction companies and ask if you can apprentice. Some may even pay you to learn their trade. You may start off doing the jobs that no one wants to do, but this is a great way to learn hands on.

For sure there are trade schools. You can specialize and be a plumber or an electrician. School is needed, an apprenticeship and then a final testing proceedure. You get paid really well for your efforts, time and patience through the program. You can work anywhere in the world too as the trade is universal.

If you want to be a reno-expert (like it sounds like your Dad is) the best way is to find a company locally that does that sort of thing. Try the one that did your Aunt's bathroom. See if they'll hire you on after school or on weekends to help out. You will do the grunt labour work for sure but if they see your honest interest and you have the patience to stick it out, they might begin showing you what they're doing and how they figure it out. Ask lots of questions but think before you ask so they don't think you are not getting it. Remember the answers too, try not to ask the same question twice. It's a great biz to be in because you make masterpieces for people out of old tired spaces. It is very gratifying at the end of the day. Good Luck and email me if you'd like to know more. I do this exact thing for a living but I buy a house, fix it all up and then sell it at the end to get paid. I didn't start here but this is where you can end up. I now have 3 houses and 3 crews and I still get my hands dirty too. I am always looking for young people that have an interest in this and so are the companies in your town.

Remodel Carpenter. You could apply at the Carpenter Union Hall. The are always looking for apprentices. Apprenticeships can last for 5 years, but is well worth it. Think of it as schooling you get paid for. Now if you are looking for just some practical experience, some home stores like home depot and lowes give classes on different aspects of home remodeling all the time. Check with the stores. Groups like Habitat for Humanity, are always looking for volunteers to help build homes in local communities.

I have a houseman who discovered he had a natural talent for this kind of work. He studied with an expert for several years, and now does it for a living. He doesn't come cheap, but he's a treasure, and there seems to be no end to his skills. I absolutely believe it has to begin with some natural abilities - being able to look at something and somehow just "know" what is needed to fix it, make it work, make it look wonderful, and know how to do it. But these natural talents still need to be honed and refined The only way to accomplish that is to work on your own stuff, learning more as you go, which could take a long while; or else go work for a professional, and learn from him as you first work as his apprentice, and then, as you gain more and more fine skills, and knowledge, become able to take over projects yourself. Eventually you may become accomplished enough to set up on your own, and advertise your range of skills. My man is a finished carpenter, electrician, plumber, wall finisher, tile layer, and all-round miracle-worker, and I feel blessed to have him working for me.

For now, i could ought to assert no. Blown calls will consistently be a ingredient of the activity........maximum individuals of clown calls certainly are not that undesirable, thinking the umpire has to make the call at as quickly as. there are merely a pair in a given year the place it incredibly is totally obvious to the bare eye. Over a 162 activity season, the calls wil leven out, like Eric mentioned. in spite of the undeniable fact that, I do think of replay ought to be used contained in the playoffs on something yet balls and strikes. that's certainly a time whilst no person needs to win/lose a activity by means of fact of a call.

Start as a journeyman with a contractor. Be willing to work at what you feel you want to do. Experience is Number 1.

A Kitchen, bathroom or a basement are much more complicated that a simple job.

Its called "Building Maintenance". I took that course and it tought carpentry, masonry, electrical work, plumbing, and architecture. You can find them most anywhere. Just look for trade schools that teach building maintenance. Another option, if you can draw unemployment, some states offer to send you to trade school and even pay you a little on the side to learn a new trade. Best of Luck!

Everybody here is right. It is any one or all of these things. Contractor/carpenter. Just check out your local trade school and see if you can get in touch with a career counselor or guidance counselor they should be able to advise which way to go and how to get their.

It's Carpentry & usually you do apprenticeships. Try & find a good company & see if they're hiring. Most people hire apprentices that get trained as they work. Also it's good if the company is union since that way you get benefits & all the good stuff.
