History of Tim Carter & Ask the Builder - LIVE Stream 02-28-2022 Ask the Builder

Good afternoon. I'm to Carter, and this is the Ask the Builder Live stream

I'm a little tired right now. I've worked pretty hard that the past three hours

My daughter, my youngest daughters, getting ready to move to California. And all of her stuff, her worldly possessions, we packed into a

U-Haul small truck, it all fit. That was pretty close. It's a 10-foot truck, and it's always a great game of Tetris, you know

And it's all in there pretty secure. I've moved enough times to know how to wrap things and pack things and strap them down

It's a 3,000 mile journey, so, you know, you can't have things jiggling around in the back of that truck

it's going to be really interesting. I think she's pretty stressed out what you would expect

She flies out on Saturday but a friend of hers is driving the truck out to California Roco I figured you be here today I was hoping you would be here After all it your idea

We're going to talk about me and the whole history of me and everything else in just a moment

I thought I'd wait for some of the stragglers to get here before I started because then they would want to, they'd miss the early parts

Of course, they can watch it later. Busy weekend. because I needed to get a bunch of work done because I knew that today would be just helping my daughter and try to keep her nerves calm down

She's a little stressed out, as well as she should be. It's a big, big move for her

This is the move she'll never forget. I can tell you that right now

And Saturday will be officially empty nesters. We were empty nesters about three years ago, you know, four years ago

And then she came back for just a little bit after Puerto Rico

Let's get started on my story. This hey Josh how you doing Hello Louise Glad you here This was the idea for this live stream came from Roco He here

Okay, no problem. Well, I'm going to go ahead and just start doing it. You can always pick up

You know what to do. You can watch this tomorrow. Get the rest of it

It might be a pretty long story. So I'm going to start talking about kind of like my entire timeline of this whole

journey I've been on. And it's really kind of interesting all the connections and how there

was some foreshadowing. And if you have questions about different parts of it as I'm going

you probably want to ask right at that time. No question is out of bounds. Just go ahead and

ask anything you want. And I'll answer it. But don't hold back thinking that I might talk

about it. Hey, Jason. Hello. So I got started. I think the whole foreshadowing part really happened in Boy Scouts

So I was, you know, you can be a Boy Scout at age 11

And I was really fascinated with Boy Scouts A really good friend of mine on the street I grew up in Roger Boncutter Roger was two years older than I was and he had been in scouting obviously two years before I did

He'd come back, tell me all about it, and I just couldn't wait to join. I just thought, oh, I cannot wait

And it was everything that Roger said it would be. And, you know, I advanced through the ranks pretty

quickly. You know, you go, you go from tenderfoot to second class, second class to first class. And once you got first class

then you start earning merit badges to earn the next three ranks, you know, Star Scout, Life, and Eagle

So I just miss getting Eagle, quite a few reasons, but two of the merit badges that I received

were home repairs, of all things, and journalism. Those are kind of interesting merit badges

You know, you don't, you know, they're both interesting. So, so are you kidding me

syndicated columnist and I turned out to be a builder. So pretty interesting foreshadowing

I used to do a few little repairs and stuff around my house because my dad was disabled. He

couldn't do anything. Some of them were just pathetic because I didn't have any training
