Doing more organization in the shop, I ran across the last door installation job I did back in 2009. My old invoice to the prop. mngt. company. My ol business cards. And a couple little cabinet jobs I had sketched up and ready to go. 

Great memories, I met a lot of good people and customers, I loved being on on the road and working for folks, I got along with em all, a lot of repeat business by word of mouth only, never had to advertise.

My wife has been a stay at home wife and Mom since we been married, I always had a regular day job, and my own side business up until 2009 to keep us going.

 

Now my day job is at the point it can support the family on it's own, still always looking for that overtime though!

 

I remember this last door job vividly, wonderful customers.

 

It was a good day too, made about 250 bucks before lunch.

 

My home made business cards that my wife made.

 

This was a little pine cabinet I made for another awesome customer, I installed this in their laundry room. They fed me lunch!

 

I still have all my door installation tools, I'll never give them up, you never know when the bills may get a bit too much, it's always great to have a backup trade. 

Thanks for following me down memory lane.

 Very Cool...

Cool! I've got notes, receipts, etc. from work I did nearly 30 years ago. I have a scar on my thumb from some table saw work I did 40 years ago!
