Even so, a lot of the graduates say there is still not enough of this kind of experience in college so they feel somewhat unprepared when they get out into the real life.Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-25723985092074834402009-11-19T08:37:55.058-06:002009-11-19T08:37:55.058-06:00I find it interesting that when I went to High Sch...I find it interesting that when I went to High School, there were 2 groups.

It involves construction, concrete and manufacturing. I was questionable about it at first, but it's actually turning out to be pretty interesting! Not to mention the fact that if I decide to buy a house, I have a whole department of people who can check it out and tell me if it's worth the price!<br /><br />Ann - You should definitely check out Alan's foundry. I bet you'd get some pretty great pics!<br /><br />Vee - Thanks! They just pour the copper into molds. I'll have to get some "after" pics.Isla Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418290496593796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-21974761741045350372009-11-18T07:32:16.817-06:002009-11-18T07:32:16.817-06:00The two photos just before the woman are especiall...The two photos just before the woman are especially cool!
