Hmm, let's see. I do this professionally (as in make money doing carpentry). Here's what I brag to coustomers that I do:

I work in Santa Cruz, San Lorenzo Valley, Scotts Valley, Capitola, Aptos, principally. That's all in Santa Cruz County. Though for a very kick-ass free carpentry job, I could be lured out of my cozy area.

General construction, new building, repairs, finish work, doors, windows, electrical, floors, roofs, decks, tile, drywall, painting, networking, telephone.

As well as a ton of interesting specialty stuff I'd love to help with: treehouses, garden gates, straw bale and cob building, hidden forest retreats, lofts, interesting fences.

My fantasy is that someone wants me to help build a Erok village in a grove of tall old redwoods on their property. Oh man. With rope ladders and cable bridges and porches and decks and rooms scattered about in a dozen trees. Can we get that? Can we? Can we, Seanix?

I do plumbing mostly. And this is centered around
water heaters and water supply piping. I do a lot of gas piping. I also have some basic carpentry skills. I'm studying water treatment right now, this includes both waste water and potable water supplies. I'd like to develop a better knowledge of chemistry and how it applies to water.
I joined to watch how this project goes and if there is some incredible project I really want to learn or do I am totally interested in donating labor.
Rico, Seanix, if you want running water in the ewok village we'll need some good method of either storing it in the trees or pumping it up there.

Hello all, great idea for a tribe. I am a professional remodeler in Pennsylvania. I am what they call a jack of all trades, master of most... I do carpentry(both framing and finish) a lot of plumbing, heating, electrical, drywall, welding, pipefitting, and right now I am currently looking to get started, and further my knowledge, in the radiant floor heating feild. This is not a new thing to Pa, but is a possible, ever expanding, endever. ~Bob

I just moved to Seattle and have been working as a handyman Carpenter for over 12 years doing just about everything. Ewok village... hmm. well maybe. I'll keep a look out for posts and see about lending a hand here and there when the time comes.

Hey everyone,
I work as a carpenter in San francisco doing residential remodels and additions. I do finish and framing carpentry, electrical, and some plumbing. I'm also pretty good with mechanical things and some electronics. I like just learning new skills as i need them, and getting involved in interesting projects (like the ewok village!). I also have a degree in civil engineering and know autocad.

Used to do random rural carpentry, have built a few indoor lofts; did the 2 or 3 week "owner-builder" class at Heartwood School in Great Barrington MA back in, um, 1988 on designing and building energy-efficient homes.

And have a lot of my own tools. Would like an excuse to use 'em more often!
