My first job at 16 yrs. old was working at a sawmill... early 70's... my take home for 40 hrs was $44. Boss was a miserable pr*** too.
In 73' I was getting $2.50 framing condos on the cape.
By 77' got up to almost $5. A lot of hard work went into getting better at my job, a lot of blood, sweat and tears.  |

Stairway progress and kitchen cabinets going in. The cabinets in the foreground, will form an angled peninsula. I'm going to build a 40" high wall on the backside of them to support a bar height granite top.

Newel posts installed. The starting tread and riser are left unfastened until I am ready to install the newels. The tenon is glued, screwed and blocked to the stair framing.

Finishing up the stair railings. No other workers on site for the last few days helps a lot.
