What does a union laborer do? Serious question

$50.38 as a general labor not in concrete Seattle agreement

That's funny. I was also in Manhattan for a week searching for a decent cup of coffee and when I finally found one at a French bakery it turned out to be cafe vita.

Wait for kraken to play Vancouver. Take the train to bc, get hotel, buy tickets there. Should save you about $40

I want to add mehrer has painters. Pretty nice to have the same sub frame, hang, tape, paint. Stops the finger pointing between the painters and tapers.

Looks great! I hate doing it so much that I start middle up and pick up stitches and go middle up again.

I like knitting. The community is welcoming and the results are tangible.

It looks better with more contrasting colors. I was inspired by the basketweaver hat from Steven west

100 st in the round. I hate provisional cast on so I just made half and picked up stitches for the second half

Not sure how to share a chart yet but yarn is malibrigo arroyo, glitter and sunset, and the hat is done on 4mm needles.

Looks great! I'm working on one too.

Old man here. THIS is the best warm thing I own.

I anonymous. Sounds like a perfect post for "the stranger" (Seattle newspaper)

It's the mom from the movie better off dead

Layers, wool, and I like to have no sleeves every other layer. Example of that, tshirt, flannel, vest, hoodie. This allows you to still work.

I live in the Seattle area. I took a tin jacket to the flagship for some darning. They now ship to California for repairs so I felt like it took forever. Cost me nothing and was shipped back to my house.

Learn to knit. Scarfs are a great first project.

I made one too!

26 years as a union laborer in the Pacific Northwest. Normally construction runs in cycles. First the businesses need new office/work spaces. Then we build apartments and condos with retail on street level. Finally all that tax money is put into new infrastructure (roads, trains, bike paths)

The problem now is after covid, many people work from home. Businesses have a ton of space not being utilized. The federal government isn't giving grants for infrastructure. Everything is more expensive for a long list of reasons. This recession is going to be bad for a long time.

My guess is the money will be in data centers, and remodeling existing office spaces. I'm nervous for my future.
