Thanks mucho daiku thats kinda what I was hoping to hear
Appreciate the response!
Ya know one other thing...and I see you here in a lot of the forum posts. You REALLY seem like a main guy I could ask.
I had someone say this to me in another forum which I'm going to post without his name

TO ME FROM POSTER-->"I may be wrong on this, but I get the feeling you are going about things all wrong.
Most folks pay for schooling in timber framing, where you want a company to pay you to learn.
Now I know companies in other industries offer paid training, but I'm not sure you'll easily find that in TF, let alone at a "fair salary"."

and I'd love to get your opinion, and other people too if they want... of my response to the post.

MY RESPONSE TO POSTER--->Well, I suppose how I'm looking at it is that with several decades of renovations and restoration work under my belt along with truck loads of tools and equipment available I'm offering to do more than JUST learn timber framing and I believe I state that saying " I have tons of tools and equipment to offer within my knowledge of work as well." I'm really more than willing to do more than just TF.
I see in a quite a few of these companies sites that they offer the customer not JUST erecting the frames but finishing the insides as well. I've also seen companies that do more than just timber frame within their scope of offerings.
another thought too is..if someone had me working for them they "might" even consider leaving a small crew behind to finish off a few rooms...or side the exterior..or put up a wood shingle roof. On my house alone along with two other guys I hired to work with me we installed over 40 sq. of wood royals along with copper flashing I fabricated on my brake.
I just thought I might add another element that might not be there. I donno...maybe I'm crazy.
I thought I might be an asset when it comes to these areas of expertise'.
I understand a lot of companies don't offer that but I think some do.
I even noticed quite a few companies don't really even erect the frames...it seems like they just sell the frames.
It seems to me there's several different varieties of companies out there.
All I can do is offer up what I have to offer along with my honesty.
If I'm not anyone's cup of tea than I suppose I won't hear from anyone and I'll have to go about this differently.
You never know what someone might happen to need and appreciate at the time.
I've certainly heard of stranger things.
I appreciate your input though along with the welcome.
Thanks much
