Construction career day

Thank you all who took part in construction career day and helped us win some much needed dough. I had a good time for the most part. I was forced to use a jack hammer by a unnamed individual. I picture of that event will only be shown to Friends. The best part of the day was getting to know student i had not met before. I hope that next year i will have even more fun and maybe even get the courage to use some equipment, or climb a tree. However the cherry picker was a little to high for someone with a fear of heights. Picture to come soon.
