The last 13 years I've worked hospital maintance, 3rd shift (my choice) and love it. Gives me time to fish and hunt all I can stand. Married for just over 25 years to the same lady, and love that to. No kids, we found out early that our dogs were allergic to kids. Got several nieces and nephews that keep up using birth control. Besides, my wife is quick to tell everyone she is in the process of raising a 46 year teen ager.

Good deal, a lot of the residential builders I used to work for are dead (I don't do any more new construction). I live in Neosho and I work in Oconomowoc, but I have done plenty of work in Germantown including the library a few years back.

The family business is in the Landscaping industry. Mowing (when it rains, been a very dry summer), landscape installation and maintenance, mulching, planting bushes, architecture, skidsteer work, demolition, hauling, anything that has to do outside, we have done it. Built decks, poured concrete, everything. In the winter we do snow removal if it snows, and clean up the shop, organize everything and clean all the trucks. I plan to take over the business within 3 years as we just renewed the contracts on our main job, a 80 acre retirement community, and we do everything outside. Dad started the business 17 years ago when i was born, just a job three days a week, mowing yards. He kept enough business to make it worth it, and when i showed interest in it, we growed. Now we are making about 10x as much as he did when he started, and we only see the future getting better.
