All of my working life I've either made my living with my skills or my labor or both. Never was interested in making money off of others. Not that I thought it was wrong it just never appealed to me.
This year I guess I'll succumb to the system and become a General Contractor(guess it's what tired old carpenters do). That's were I arrange for tradesmen and materials to come together for a customer to complete a project for them. This project is a $300,000 home. My slice of the pie will be considerable. It's not that I will get payed for doing nothing it's just that I'll get paid real good for doing something that I feel is not very much.
While this house is being built by others I only have to see that the material is on the site for them, take care of the inspections, see that they've done what their contract calls for and pay them.
Between those responsibilities I'll be building a small addition for a family in my neighborhood and an addition on our house.
Gonna be a busy year. Hopefully a profitable one too!

About Me

- About me -- Could that speak to attributes of my character or to objects arranged around me at this time and place. To discuss attributes there must first be attributes. As a rather suspect observer they (the attributes) would be questionable to say the least should I choose to list any. If on the other hand we are speaking of objects that are within my grasp I feel as though their description would be an invasion of my privacy and by the way one that I would be responsible for and by golly there's one attribute I will claim and that's having sense enough not to incriminate myself! So! As a card carrying commie pinko of the late 60's you'll not be greatly suprised with some of my opinions. This will hopefully be a family place.

I say, "Good for you! Bravo!" Someone's got to get paid for doing such things. Might as well be you. Hope your year is pleasant and profitable!
Good talking the other day. Promise I'll do it more often. :-)
