@@BradtheBuilder that would be great. Honestly everything I’ve watch so far has been good. I went through the carpenters apprenticeship almost 30 years ago and loved the work but the union for many years was shady with several Business Agents going to jail and it was hard in the slower months trying to raise a family. I decided to go to school for mechanical engineering and it was a better choice. When you asked one of your framing contractors how much they were paying it reminded me of the scale I started at in 1990. 45% as a 1st year apprentice was $7.92 an hr residential and $14 and some change commercial/industrial. Scale went up 10% every 2000 hours ( around a year ) if you worked a full year without layoffs. I lived in northwest Indiana outside Chicago and it was tough with the steel mills laying off or closing down. Sorry for being long winded. You do beautiful work and it’s easy to see you and your company have some integrity. In todays market and economy with questionable work ethics from subcontractors to suppliers they can make or break a sub par company. Thanks for letting me ramble. LOL. Have an awesome weekend !

For me it's guys like yourself and 'Grouchy' Tom who are keeping any kind of respect in the building industry alive. 'Old School' is the ONLY school for getting it right. I had it drummed into as a kid, that you do it right the first time, every time. Regardless of your job/industry. Too often I see substandard work that has passed inspection and then been passed on to the consumer, who often will just sigh and suck it up rather than point out the flaws. Attention to detail is king.

Aaron, if you’re really passionate about building… I would suggest starting small maybe with a flip house to get your feet wet. You will make some mistakes but, that’s how you learn. I still make mistakes and they do cost me money when that happens! So if you start small the price of mistakes generally aren’t that big. It’s part of the education process and learning curve… every builder goes through it. (otherwise they’re lying to you😜)

I think the behind the scenes stuff fits really well with this channel especially cause u do high end construction and so it's really cool to see all the things that need to be done that differentiate a regular house-build from a high end project. I think also in the future if u use a more insructional style for some videos like "this is how we do x" or "top 5 things you to do for x" it will make it much easier to organize those videos along a central theme that make them easier to title and consume and then if u have that in addition to the vlog style videos you can cycle through formats and be less likely to overuse either. Really like these videos hope u stick with it.
