I recently worked for Habitat for Humanity for one day. I am in OK shape and the Habitat Foreman asked if I wanted to hang drywall. I always wanted to learn drywalling. They teamed 2 guys with no drywall experience with a 70 year old man who hung drywall all his life. This guy was amazing! We drywalled a medium size 3 bedroom townhouse in 8 hours. While we were drywalling, the guy gave us tips to make drywalling smoother and faster. I was so impressed I went home and wrote it all down in a word document.

A lot of the core workers at Habitat are retired trades folks with massive experience. I had never worked at Habitat before my employer required all new hires to do one day at the job site. Where else can you get free training from a master carpenter, plumber or electrician? I am going back to Habitat to learn more stuff that will help me with the rentals. Give it a shot.
