    Yo are older Frank. But we have had similar experiences. It's a pleasure reading about what you have pulled off. Reminds me of stories my Dad and Grandfather told me when I was wet behind the ears. Most places I worked for hired me and then started giving me raises to. Same deal. I couldn't possibly do what I said I could. I never was found short on know how or ideas in a pinch.

    I started my own business just shy of 20 years old. I had worked with my Dad in his own business from 7 years old and up so it was nothing new. My Dad was a great teacher. Not exactly patient. But a great conveyor of how to do it right and how to think your way out of a jamb.

    I spent 13 years on all kinds of cabinetmaking and true carpentry. Not just framing but making doors and windows and stairs and such. Branched out into some light fabrication and stuff that allowed me a conversational knowledge of welding and fabrication. Can do it. But I'm neither one of those professions. I have to much respect for the real deal to make any such claims.

    Keep up doing what you can Frank. I'm rooting for you!
