Mikeadoo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I work on sleds for a living, Bad thing is that I've become so busy in the winter that I'm missing out on the good powder dumps. Bikes, ATVs, landscape equipment, and an occasional outboard in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well, I'm sorta "in between" careers. Or, "semi-retired" depending on my mood. I ducked out of the business world about five years ago now. Moved my family back up North and have been building my own house and taking on some general contracting work which I enjoy doing for the right people. Not sure if I'll stay this route or get back into business when I decide to grow up...that may be a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

favoritos Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 In between as well myself. I ran a team that moved "lots" of inventory on a daily basis, Many of the team worked at least half their lives on this job, We moved the operations too far for most of us to make the commute. While closing the building, I was reminded about what I did every day. It was tough to see the old Thank You letters. We delivered products that saved people's lives.

Second generation with tile and stone (floors, walls). Third generation with wood floors (install and sand and finish). I like those type of projects. Not a bad way to make a living. I have done some work on my own around the house. First pic was my last reno, had to move the wet wall and electric. I also put in a spa tub and heated floors. It was no small task with a 1.5" mesh reinforced substrate in the whole room. The second pic is my man cave bath that has been claimed by the other half.

I have been working in a building that had 36 data points with our temp monitors. We always run with dual HVAC systems in each zone just to make sure each one was on point. We did not have enough automation on the temp controls to keep the HVAC team away for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
