    Just like being a Parent, it's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be. If that is the case, as it sounds like it is, you will do very well indeed and accumulate experience on a scale that you otherwise would not. I haven't read through the entire thread, but it seems to me that you are not only on the right path, but excelling at doing so.

    Congrats, love seeing old buildings saved instead of being destroyed. What an amazing project to be involved in!

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    Thank you. It must be pointed out this was a one time deal. I am a retired educator that was on this web site at the right time. I love challenges and lucked into an opportunity. Now it is back to the ranch scrapping farm machinery. The many lessons learned on this project have already been an asset to the primary business, cleaning up farms.

    Had several job offers because of this project, but they were not within my dreams or lifestyle. Still retired and flying solo.
