This last summer I had to get a job to pay for my gas and just every day living so I decided to get a job with my uncle. He builds houses for a living. The first day I started it was so darn hot. And every single day after that it just seemed to get hotter. The first day I came on the job they were finishing up the bottom part of the house and getting ready to start on the up stairs. When we finished at the end of the summer we were done blacking in the house. That means putting up the walls. First day we started building the rooms for upstairs. Once we got the rooms square we started working on the rafters that went across the top of the house. This was an incredibly hard task to complete. This took every ounce of strength plus determination with patients and skill. We had to carry them by hand up the side then hoist them up and hold them while the person up top nailed them. Not to mention they had to be squared and in the right place. But over all I felt really good when I finished with this job. I had accomplished many great things such as pretty much building a house ha. And it taught me many things about life and my uncle was just plain fun to work with anyways. If I could do it all over again next summer I definitely would. Maybe I will. Maybe I will…

Summer Job
This last summer I had to get a job to pay for my gas and just every day living so I decided to get a job with my uncle. He builds houses for a living. The first day I started it was so darn hot.
