Believe it or not, basic carpentry skills were something very valuable to have because there wasn’t always a service to come save the day. Back in the day if the roof was leaking or the floorboards were busted, it would be up to YOU to fix it. It’s always helpful to have someone around who can fix something when it’s broken. If it ever comes down to it, building a shelter is a necessity in order to survive–just ask Megee. You don’t need to be in survival mode to learn carpentry skills; learning how to build a structure can help in home improvement projects for years to come. You can even learn how to make furniture, which can help you keep your home stylish and potentially open up a new business venture–the opportunities are endless.
