Summary
Having over 25 years as a carpenter/general contractor gave me an edge over my counterparts in the real estate industry. Plus the fact that the last 10 years as a general contractor we built post and beam barns using the Amish just added knowledge in the building industry. The gap between 2008 and 2015 was a retirement period as we moved out of state but came back due to my wifes health.

Have always had a large garden and put vegies up for winter time. It is a way to relieve the stress of a hard day at work and a real fulfilment of knowing that one can sustain life.
