Where are my manors? All I can say is mama tried. Let me introduce myself. My friends call me Del and I am 56 with a wife and 4 kids. I worked for the local utility for 35 years. When they tried to wrangler me into an office all day I decided it was time to go. Over those 35 years, I was lucky enough to work 3-11 or 4-12 shifts, which let me work alongside my dad and uncles in their home improvement business. At 30 and after my dad passed and my uncles retired, I took it over and scaled back on the size of jobs that I do. Now I just do decks, finished basements, and kitchens.
Welcome Regopit! Just do decks, finished basements, and kitchens. Those sounds like they can be big jobs.
Welcome Regopit.
Welcome!!
Welcome. That’s cool you get to cherry pick the projects. I love doing decks and basements, but don’t get many opportunities.

Thanks Harold maybe I should have said the scope of the jobs. At one time I had 8 to 10 guys working of jobs additions whole house renos and so on. I would like to say that I made a ton of cash but when you have 4 kids and 3 are in college it seem like it was going out faster than I could make it.
