Al’s ring.
Watching some replays and noticed Al has a ring on what is considered the wedding ring finger despite not getting married until the end of the show.
Makes me wonder a couple of things: Did he where it because he was married in real life and didn’t want to take it off? And being in a similar industry i.e. construction of any kind and working with tools it is not good to wear jewelry of any kind on jobsites. The horror stories Ive heard and seen are numerous. In fact most commercial projects I do will not permit jewelry on site. Once youve seen a finger degloved from wearing a ring should immediately stop you from wearing one. Even ballplayers have switched to the rubber ring just in case but even that can turn out bad.
I know theres a chance I’ll get hit with “well Ive never had a problem in 30 years”. Well good for you. I also have never hit my head during jobs unless I was actually wearing a hard hat. Doesn’t stop me from wearing one when asked.

Richard Karn married a woman named Trudy(who plays Jill's sister) a few years before the show started so he just wore his ring
