My husband wasn't always a college professor. He did many jobs before he got his dream job. In the past, he worked in the construction field. He did everything from framing houses to installing hardwood floors. He loves to tell me stories about his old job and some of his old work buddies. He was quite young when he worked in that field. Sometimes he had to do some welding at work. If you are welding, one thing that you simply must have is a good welding helmet. My husband is very careful with all that he does, and you should be too.
