If you don't know who Dickie Betts is you should spend several hours listening to 'Jessica' by Allman Brothers Band this afternoon. If you do know who Dickie Betts is, you already know that you should do this....
Homes that were built 100+ years ago were mostly made of wood. If stone was prevalent in the area, some may have been built of stone. It's possible to have a home built of brick that old, but I don't recall seeing any. FWIW, I'm talking about common homes and not plantation homes. Old growth wood...

Using chainsaws while on a ladder is way up there. Some things that haven't been mentioned: bench grinder without protective shroud oxygen/acetylene torch band saw welder old power tools (before double insulation) with sketchy wiring...
My son went through something similar (not the ASVAB scores part). My belief is that his problem was primarily one of immaturity and laziness. He told us that he was "tired of school" when he was still in high school. While he was in high school he worked at fast food restaurants. After he graduated...
And that song was off their debut album too! It's a pretty fantastic debut album....

I have always been interested in seeing where my ancestors are buried. This is partly because I like learning about history and have an interest in genealogy. When I enter a cemetery I make a point of reminding myself that I should act with respect the entire time. I know that some people may not fe...

re: BR visit recommendations?
