This week I attempted to construct a wood fire pizza oven for my mother. She likes to bake breads for the whole family and she found a kit that was half price at an auction.
I took a day off. Because these types of projects needed 2 people to lay the foundation and the brickwork, I called 20 of my pals, each of them did not know anything about basic carpentry or any handyman skilled that you would expect a father to teach his sons.
I even offered them money and delicious woodfire pizza after we finished the project
None of them knew anything about basic brickwork or woodwork. At the end of the day, I had to pay this old Italian dude 300 dollars for a day worth of work
I' ain't a Tradie but I still see basic handy man skills essential for any man to learn. Especially in this economy. Brehs need to start learning those male skills.
