Pics of our moneymakers


Stacy makes fun of my knuckles and knees. She says that it looks as if I drag my knuckles on the ground when I walk. My knuckles look better now than they use to before I went back to school...I have been back on the job for only about 2 years. My floor covering buddies all have ugly knuckles, too. Most are worse than mine though.
Anyone care to post your mangled hands, knees, etc.? Be proud! They are your moneymakers!

We should have a knuckle and knee pageant of sorts. That would be interesting.

Here is a sad sad right hand. He has been subjected to more automotive work in the past two months than he has in the past two years. He has done too much patch, not enough base. Don't despair though, he will be right back sporting a brand new look!

Come on, show something REALLY nasty!

These have not even installed for 5 years and still have the calluses.

The big scar has been with me since 1975 when the knife slipped, only 65 stitches!

Cutting the last riser to the hardwood bullnose? I only tagged my thumb a little when I did that one. Lucky. Never put my hand there again though.


OK, post manicure in this pic. Tools needed: 3x3in 220 grit emery paper, pocket knife, scrub brush.

The ladies like their ruggers with smooth hands.

Here are my hands. I don't get it...32 years and aside from dirty nails, no callouses, and my knees are good like Mark said.

Barry, it all depends on how you put your hands down when you hit the floor. Obviously you put your palms down and don't make a fist. If I can figure out how to post a pic, you will see some disgusting hands.
