I was talking to a twenty-something joiner,last week,told me he served his time and had done all aspects of site work....

He didn't know why an internal door had the hinges set 9" up,6" down...didn't know what a pair and a half,was...got all indignant,when asked how a hip roof,could change the choice of tile,in regard to minimum pitch...

I hope he had a spare loop,on his tool belt,next to his Estwing...about phone-sized - coz he never put it down
