bikermutt07 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 I call myself a tradesman. I tried to get out of being a carpenter my entire career. So, I'm an industrial electrician, remodeling carpenter, framer, trim man, shade tree plumber, machine repairman, appliance installer, pretty much a little bit of everything. I currently work for a floor covering store that has a granite shop and remodels showers and kitchens. Oh yeah, I'm also a granite man. I love getting to do something different every day. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
