Hundreds ! .. Doing 1 day to 2 month long Home improvement projects for over 30 yrs .LOL .. Did the usual farmy things as a kid . Started out pickin strawberries forever ,at age 6 .. Mom crated in the berry shed and declared I needed to go out and make myself Useful. LOL, . around age 14 ,i was helping a neighbor farrowing pigs and raising hoggs (1000per yr ,and it is the one thing I know how to do WELL ) til 20%interest drove him out ,.turned around and began raising hoggs in the same facility with my brother til WE nearly went broke , Brother said "I think we need a bigger building ",,. NOT !!..during this time we were also taking care of a hundred brood cows below dads place .. , In my 20's for serveral yrs, my brothers and I could boast that We Kinda(custom Work ) farmed all the way to the Ohio river some 3 miles away.. I realized if I was goig to Farm for a living I needed to own land , And to Buy land , I needed Money , And , I SAW the best way to make that Money was the vehicle of home Improvement .. A nasty tornado had ripped across the County in 1974 , so, I started My own home improvement business , and RUN her HARD and did real good ." Never Mind the MULEs , JUST load THE WAGON" mentality . In 94 I busted My tail in More ways than One ,, was laid up for the winter , From then ON , EVERYTHING CHANGED .. My sons wanted the business so I kept it going with their help til they could grow into it . In 2002 My friends and Neighbors egged me into county politics .. The Good Folks of the County Voted Me in, I like it there and I hope the Folks will give me another term .. I still help My Sons in home Improvement occassionaly , But it is Their business to run .. We have 3 farms nearby with 90 acres of row crops .. SO much rolling stock to put antifreeze to safeguard , roll hay equipment over about 200 acres of hay each yr. (anyone NEED ANY HAY )keep around 20 brood cows , and NOT one Single hog ... so far ,So good ..
