Wow! thank you all so much for the warm welcoming and priceless advice and wisdom. I honestly have never felt so welcomed by an online community. I'm real excited to learn all that I can to pay it forward as well.
Silversurfer: thanks for the warm welcome from down under

I put ethics above all else in this business, always leave the site cleaner than when you got there. And there is so much information here that I am rushing between reading and scrapping. It's a lot of fun.
Gabriel Services: Thanks for opening up and I'll pm you. I like scrapping as a business because a just about anyone with mental problem will tell you, a "normal" job can be real tough in a lot of ways. And scrapping offers profitable freedom.
Nutpie and Miked: thank you for passing along that advice. I truly appreciate it.
Alloy2: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I completely know what you mean about how life can take unexpected turns or throw us some rough time but if we work hard and seize the opportunity then we will succeed. Actually I have a lot of education and experience with all thing mechanical, electrical and plumbing. Plus having worked construction before, I've already gained some helpful experience. I think that if I throw myself into it and be open minded that I will certainly find my niche where I can enjoy the work and make some cash.
jimicrk: thanks for the welcoming, I'll look around the forum for you.
I have to be up early to pick up several truck loads of appliances so good night for now y'all.
