What state are you in? I am an licensed engineer and surveyor in West Virginia and Virginia. When I took the Va test only about 13 people passed out of 40 and I heard in :wv: only about 5 people took the exam last time. I think the surveying field is getting so depleted with licensed...

I have a BSET in civil engineering technology and I was required to get an additional 2 years experience in Virginia even with a masters in civil from Virginia Tech. I was able to get a West Virginia PE by comity with no problem. I would recommend going ahead and getting the PE in at least 1...

My dad is building a house now and he has pricing in sheetrock that ranges from $22-$28 per sheet to finish, as far as the electrical better get a pro, I put in a circuit breaker and a sub pannel for a hot tub at my house and got a nice letter from the town wondering what electrician I used and...

Best of luck!! Not often you see someone from :wv: on here, let alone Pipestem. (I am from Princeton)

The hangover was probably the funniest movie I have ever seen, a must see!!
