…And I’m fucking pumped! Got an interview for an apprenticeship with NY Bricklayers Local #2. I really thought I would have no chance on even getting an interview after talking to one of the coordinators. ---

He knows his shit though…so I’m sure if you worked with him sometime and had a question he’d teach you. Here is some of the stuff at home he’s done (all by himself with the help of my two brothers and I): Design in front of the garage: ![http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Garage/Picture%20035.jpg](http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Garage/Picture%20035.jpg) Did all the wood working/fencing/stucco on the garage/gazebo/deck: ![http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Garage/Property7.JPG](http://www.ilyakol.com/Maxima/Garage/Property7.JPG) We built that garage (just the 4 of us). Took 2.5 summers but boy do I love it now. He’s from the old school philosophy of “don’t pay someone else to do work you can do yourself.” Hate mixing cement :(. He did the welding, etc. ---

He’s a mason for BAC 2 last I knew, but he can do everything. Mason, brick, welding. He’s done showers, kitchens, outside work, you name it. Dude doesn’t pay for anyone to do anything. Cars, all him. All yard/stone work, all him. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-got-this-letter-in-the-mail/247296.md?page=2)
