Not at all mate, aslong as you keep up the diet, keep getting adequate amounts of sleep and rest, coupled with the hard work in the gym and there should be no problems, in fact its probably a good thing as it takes your mind off bodybuilding for some time during the day, which in turn stops you getting into a rut and or going stale. Good luck with the college and the carpentry, and of course your training.

You'll have nothing to worry about, I'm a brickie and a hard gainer so you might think I'm on a slipery slope, but I still gain. You might need to change the way you train a bit, full body splits are bad for building site work. I get 5500 cals a day based on a 30% 50% 20% diet. I weigh 13 stone 5'10 and 10.5% bf. Not the biggest man in the world I know but hey we can't all be competition winners.

You don't want to be spending more than roughly 45 mins a session when training as cortisol levels rise and this is bad (stopping your body from recovering propley, leading to over training.

Make sure you go to failure on every set whether your doing 4 reps (strength) or 6-12 reps for Mass. You should find doing no more than about 6 sets for small muscles and no more than 8 sets for bigger muscles gets the job done. Unless your on gear it's a bad idea to train longer than 45 mins a session.
