A long time ago Vancouver ran out of open space to build houses. Construction of new homes went upwards instead of the single lot, especially in a 10 square mile area concentrated in the area around the downtown core. I saw opportunities. Lots of them. I had taken a year off for health reasons and had sold my customer list so I had a from scratch start. I bought a high pressure ninja and started hunting. It's worked out well for me. I did 2 repeat customers today, made 500 bucks and was home for lunch. My wife and I have enough capital for a comfortable retirement now if I want to pull the plug. I love what I do and I've spent a lot of hours working on improving the systems for those that need to run their equipment electrically. Despite the assumptions you make that I'm a hack, nothing could be further from the truth. I make every effort to ensure customer satisfaction.
Now I don't deny I'm a curmudgeon. Comes with age. I'm pretty plain spoken and always will be. Some don't like what I say, but it needs to be said. Shoot the message not the messenger. I wouldn't get the idea I'm low on equipment. Marriott has a bigger better hoard than I do but I'm well equipped. Yes I have a 175, well 3 of them actually but I like my
crb. I was using host machines long before
crb's became the latest and greatest. I've got a big pile of pads and know how to use them with a 175.
Sometimes my beak gives or gets grief from the words that come out. It is what it is. I'm honest about how I see things.
