Forklifts are easy to learn. So are electric pallet jacks. Screw with one for a one and youve got it down.
Also, hang out at home depots and ask contractors if they are looking for people. I get paid 12 an hour for my time. Im not exelent carpenter, but from workin six months with this company I can well manage myself amongst guys that have been doing it 10 years. Shit even today, I outsmarted two guys with a crazy piece of siding I had to do. It took me almost an hour to get all the cuts right (probably 10 different angles in a 23 inch piece). You might like it, I love workin with my hands outside. Whenever I get the money to get my own house, Ill tell you right now I wont be paying some company to do shit for me because Ill know how to do it.
