This house is a late 80's construction. So no worries there. But good tip thanks.


As far as partners. I own a small land surveying business that makes me a lot of money. (Enough to pay off my mortgage in 5 years, build a 40K RX-7 and shop for a 30K Porsche) Is there ever enough money? No. But these 2 guys I am teamed up with. They saved my business after the 2 hurricanes last year. They are far more than employees they are friends and people I trust 110%. Yes, I am putting up the money and taking the financial risk. They are putting up their sweat and blood to renovate this house. The one brother knows how to do anything from soldering pipes to applying stucco to electrical wiring to laying floors. I would have to pay someone top dollar to do what he can do. What I will save in labor is worth it to have him around.

Plus, these 2 guys deserve a break in life. They are bust ass workers that happen to be the best 2 employees in my company. They deserve to get ahead for the first time in their lives and I an both proud and happy to be the one to help them do it. They joy it gives me is unexplainable.

The best thing about these guys? Even after making some good money they will still be the same hard working honest guys.
