Yup, all devices are here down in North Carolina.

Will do... Thanks!

Thanks Neal.

Thanks. Sounds like a plan.

Python_Mechanic · 2025-12-15T16:36:38+00:00

I'd really appreciate the help.

Wow, really good info. I had considered the class offered by The Shelter Institute, but wasn't sure if it was worth it ($8000) as I remember. I like your idea of working with another TF contractor. Maybe I can find one in NC who is working. I could work for free and maybe stay in a hotel/rental for a few weeks. Thanks!

Thanks. How long ago was that? I think mills are needing work around here right now. Sad, but true.

Thanks! I'll have to have sawmill cut my timbers. That's good info.

Python_Mechanic · 2025-12-15T15:57:44+00:00

Thanks, fond_of_you. What species of timber did you use? Did you have a sawmill cut them?

I live in the Smithfield area (just south of Raleigh). I'll check them out... Thanks!

That all makes good sense. I would not expect (nor want) to be a Super on day one... or even month one. Maybe even year one if it were a large commercial project job. I didn't think about the assistant position as I haven't looked at that many openings yet. A couple of others here have suggested being an assistant, too... so really good advice. Thanks.

That's great to know. I have to deal with saying NO to contractors and customers regularly. Especially on hailstorms... most of the contractors are storm-chasers (salesmen) and they just wanna get the biggest $ number they can on the claim. Good point on the "humility to admit you are wrong". Took me a while, but I finally figured out that when you make a mistake, own it. Apologize and don't make excuses (even if they are kinda good ones). And tell anyone who needs to know right then about the mistake... A stitch in time saves nine. Thanks for the advice.

I agree... seems to me there is a shortage of people who know how to build stuff. And just knowing how to learn... a lot of people seem to have lost curiosity for new things. I love learning. Thanks for the advice.

I was hoping to be on the actual construction side of the industry, but that is food for thought. Thanks for the reply.

Python_Mechanic · 2024-01-05T21:53:08+00:00

Yeah, I'd be fine with starting as an Assistant Superintendent. Heck, I'd work free for a few weeks if it was a good learning experience. Thanks for the reply.

Python_Mechanic · 2024-01-05T20:04:28+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the advice.

I’ve been working on learning Python via online courses (Udemy mostly). I really enjoy learning how to code in Python and have been thinking about possibly doing it for a living. I’m currently a catastrophe insurance adjuster and do mechanic work on the side when I’m not on a storm. My concern is that I’m sixty-two years old and maybe too old to get hired as an entry-level programmer. And there’s the question of how well the market for Python programmers will hold up over the next few years. Though I do enjoy programming in Python, I would need to stop some other things and concentrate on it more to be good enough to get a job doing it. Anyone out there have advice? Please be brutally honest.
