    Welcome from the Buffalo Commons. I think you are on the right track. First you found this forum and the vast amount of experience that is shared here. Starting out while still in a regular job allows you to get your feet wet before you have to count on this as a source of retirement income. We share the same philosophy that breaking things down is a learning experience and while the return might not be worth the time, in the run it will more than pay for itself. And lastly, investing your proceeds into equipment and tools with the end in mind should pay huge dividends. This is exactly the business plan that I have followed and it has paid for itself. I look forward to your contributions and questions to the forum.

    Give back more to this world than we take.

    I think having no to little idea about this adventure is almost better than having some knowledge.
    In martial arts when one changes between styles and arts, your muscle memory stays with you as you learn new things.
    This produces a "bias" and you have to "unlearn" to learn the new stuff properly.
    By having a "clean slate", I can learn and hopefully gain valuable skills from those who have attended the School of Hard Knocks and keep my mistakes to a minimum.
    A person once to me "emulate those you like and do what they do, just in your own way. Those whose style and approach you didn't like, remember what they did, and don't do it"
