Retired from self employed installation of draperies, blinds, fancy window treatments, mostly residential & some commercial. Also hanging art, pics, framed mirrors, almost anything else decorative or functional (like shelving & such), & assemble box furniture & more. This was career 2 & 5.
Also was Minister of Music, math teacher, & worked for Xerox.
Still trying to decide what to do when I grow up. Enjoy Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief on teams for set up mass feeding kitchen, cooking & cleaning in mass feeding kitchen, chainsaw (storm tree removal), and mud-out (post-flood cleanup).
Really enjoy DIY for myself & church's handyman ministry (mostly for older widows). I know enough about carpentry, electrical, & plumbing to get out of most of the trouble I get myself into.
Happy to share what I know. What I know best is hanging stuff on the wall. Also default to brainstorming & problem solving.
I always liked to ask other trades about their work. Once I asked an electrician how often he got shocked. He said about twice a year--when he came home & dinner was ready.
Best to all, Eddie
 
Welcome, Eddie. That’s a seriously good mix of hands on experience and service work. Electricians Forum is going to love the real world perspective from someone who’s done installs, DIY, and disaster relief, especially when winter storms start knocking things around.
