So you got hired and was he able to keep you busy?

For the most part, I mean, in winters and stuff, he's he's still a small shop and he's still getting his thing going at that time.

So, I mean, it was a little bit off and on, but I'd always been doing stuff on the side anyways, like running my own little business.

And so it ended up working out good.

I ended up being a subcontractor for him and we would do a whole bunch of nice railings and pergolas and all sorts of stuff for fancy houses in Calgary.

A lot of kitchen sinks for hospitals, learning how to blend stainless nice, learning how to make sure that I'm not warping too much and keeping my heat affected zone to a minimum and blending aluminum and just all of the stuff.

And that, that actually, that job really stressed me out, but really upgraded me because I was, I think just past 18 at that time, 18 and a half ish.

I've gone through it too, where it's like, you know, I look at the number at the end and it's like, Ooh, like I wouldn't want to pay this, but like it, that's what it needs to be, you know? Yeah.
