Ian Wright,

Well said! Very well said!

Sometimes we forget the impact the trade societies have had in the
past. And how lucky we are to be able to move beyond what they could
not. Imagine how many Trades(and thus separate people) that would
have been required to do(legally, or safely; broken knees hurt!) what
we accomplish alone (with the help of our list) in our garages.
