I don't have any problems except when someone tells me I'm being PC for a comment that was also made in fun (ask the Oaxacan if it's funny) and I think the other comments are good, too. I'm not taking much in this thread seriously unless someone tells me what I'm thinking or saying. It's not easy getting all of the nuances of a comment across, just in writing.
I did car audio for a long time and I told one of the other guys that we should hire his 3-year old son, so he could stand under the dash and do the wiring. He brought up the child labor issues, too. Bummer. At another integration company, when one of us had a hard time getting our hands into a single gang opening to grab wires, we'd call another installer over because he has, in his words, "little girl hands".
As far as the 24" between trusses, if he was on skis......
One of the reasons I got hired at the first CI firm I worked for was "you are skinny, you will fit in the attics and crawl spaces". Owner of the company and most of his workers were, well, umm, "hefty" fellas.
I debated bringing my ferret to work on a couple of occasions to handle pulling some wire in tight spaces.
He probably could have done it, he was nimble and clicker trained. But he probably would have gotten bored halfway through the pull and taken a nap for a few hours. Ferrets have two speeds, frenzy and sleep. They cycle between them pretty rapidly, almost like they have narcolepsy.
