The best feeling

In life, everyone needs to have exciting moment to feel a live. Everyone needs be in a social community to feel like a human being.  And everyone needs to have somebody to love. Love is the best feeling in this life. All the things or moments of our lives are better when you have love in your heart. You can feel or have love for a person, profession, thing, animal or anything. The important thing is to love.

In my life, I chose a person to deposit all my love. The happiest moments of my life have been with my wife. She is the most important ingredient of the recipe of a happy life. When you feel really good with someone and this person feels the same about you, the entire world falls at your feet. It is not important how big your debts are, or how big your social problems are, or how bad your conditions are but if you have love, you can overcome them.

Not all the moments are happiness (moments are not all happiness). You can have a difficult economic situation, or a big family problem, or maybe a difficult disease and love may not be enough to overcome these moments in your heart. Sadness can be really devastating to your mind, but with a person who supports you, you can toss all your problems easily. The person who supports you can be anyone but you better be in love with her or him. Love is always tested for good and bad moments especially in bad situations.

A good beginning is all that anyone wants to have when they want to start a business, company, trip, relationship or anything. The best way to start and continue to grow is with love. For a start you must be in love with the person who is going to be your spouse. All this love will bring fruits that will be your children. If your children will grow up with love, they are going to be good people in society. So live in love and I hope you have a happy life and a good future for our world.

Framing, My new profession

Framing is a professional job that involves building houses, decks, balconies and any kind of construction that needs walls. The idea is to build a frame of lumber for holding and installing drywall or other materials for the finished structure. The frame keeps the shape of the building. If the house doesn’t have a good frame, the roofers, hardwood flooring people, drywalls people, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and other specialists are going to be in trouble when they do their own installation.

I discovered this job in Calgary while I was looking for survivor jobs. I was seeking something in construction because I was told that I could earn more income doing framing than other survivor jobs. This profession was totally new for me. I didn’t work construction in Colombia. Also, construction is different in Colombia. There, the people don’t use lumber for construction. All the houses in Colombia are made of concrete and steel and don’t use wood to build. When you compare these two styles of construction you can think that a wooden frame is fragile. Of course, concrete and steel are stronger than lumber. But lumber is strong enough for structures of up to four levels. Lumber is so cheaper than concrete and steel, wich makes a big difference if you want to save money or make a good budget for your construction.
When you frame a house you must to start building the floor. The floor frame has to be done before sheeting. Then you start with the walls of the main floor and after that again make the entire frame for the next storey of the house. And again over the floor build the walls for the second floor and after that you can install the roof frame for sheeting later. All the frames are similar. You have to build squares using studs, sheets, nails, plates and staples. The tools that you can use are nail guns, staple guns, saws, levels, chuck lines, tape meters, squares, drills and hammers. In all the constructions you must follow the plans, and you have to build exactly how they design the house.
I enjoy this job because is a creative and artistic activity. You can meet good people and practice your language. You can enjoy the view working outside and every month you change your work place. You can do a lot of physical exercise and keep your body healthy. Maybe in the future I can build my own house and complete my dream. This job was and is a good experience in my life.
