Develop a passion, the more the merrier, and you may find that being retired is a hell of a lot better than working before your candle burns out!
That's a very meaningful advice, for us, I have started thinking in this direction. And I am amazed at the amount of work you are able to do it yourself, we usually hire a Carpenter for this type of work. And not to mention, you are a perfectionist as well, which is the best part.
Having the skills to be able to construct whatever it is that catches my attention sure does make it feasible. When I hear of some of the prices that folks are paying to have a carpenter perform work for them I'm shocked. thanks for the compliment, I do try and make sure that anything I build, be it for myself or someone else I like it to come out perfect.
