“Anyone who works in the trades is already a hero to me \u2013girls, boys, young, old\u2013 Because the work isn’t easy, it’s underappreciated, undervalued, and bottom line, it’s tough work that requires even tougher skin. But every time I go to a tradeshow or trade school, and I see more and more women there, interested, engaged, and dedicated to doing the best at what they do, I’m hopeful about where this industry is headed.”<\/em> \u2013 Mike Holmes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
