That is one of several stories from ancient writings that were not accepted into the biblical canon. There are several such non-canonical gospels. If memory serves, Jesus was angry or jealous with his playmate and tossed him off the roof. He then thought better of the whole thing and brought the child back to life. Another story relates how Jesus made some birds from mud or clay, and then breathed life into them and let them fly away. I think these stories are from the writing called the Gospel of Thomas.

Where was Jesus when a handicapped man's friends lowered him through the roof?

Jesus was in a town called Capernaum. The house where he was staying was so packed full of visitors that there was not any room for one more person, not even outside the door. Jesus was preaching to them. Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They could not get to Jesus through the croud, so they dug through the clay roof above his head. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing there faith, Jesus healed the man. Mark 2:1-12

What was Joseph's job before he married Mary?

Speaking of Jesus' "foster" father, Joseph... The Bible merely tells us that he was a "carpenter" [Matt.13:55]. The occupation which Joseph taught to his son, Jesus:"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary..." (Mark 6:3).The occupation of the father often became that of his children, usually resulting in a "family business." In the case of a "carpenter"... it didn't entail the processed forestry products that we think of as carpentry-related, today.Joseph's occupation was probably more in keeping with "home construction"... or "construction contracting." Archeological digs have revealed more "stone" used throughout Judaea for home building than wood, with huge wooden beams used for roof and second-story support.Limestone was a readily available material quarried in Judaea... and evident in archeological finds of many Middle East cities for generations.Mark 6:3 reveals that Jesus had four step-brothers and at least two step-sisters... all of whom were probably involved [along with their mother] in the "family construction business" of their [now dead] father, Joseph.It's evident that the family business was quite successful. Since Jesus, besides inheriting by birthright his father, Joseph's home in Nazareth thus, becoming the head of his father's household, there -- He also owned a large house in the upper-crust city of Capernaum, north of Nazareth, that the "successful" family business probably built and paid for."...when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home." (Mark 2:1 NIV)We read of Jesus spending more time at home in Capernaum, the preferred residence of doctors, lawyers and a certain Roman centurion [who knew of Jesus -- Luke 7:1-3]... as well as Jesus, Himself, than in Nazareth throughout the gospels. Which is a testimony to the success and blessings of God on the occupation of Joseph the carpenter and his family.
