Perhaps in figuring angles and bevels when installing mouldings or when figuring lengths of rafters in stick building. I personally never got beyond basic algebra in high school(and barely made passing grades) yet I have built hundreds of houses and installed a lot of mouldings at a lot of crazy angles and squared up a lot of foundations just using basic math and a lot of common sense. It might have been easier had I known trig but it sure did'nt seem necessary.
