So I just found this site and it is 1:45 am. I read all 3 pages....very entertaining. Here is my story. In 1993 I bought, for no money down, a cast stone business that was run out of a garage in the owners back yard. His book keeping system was a cigar box and a #2 pencil. I had a new born baby, a 2 year old and a very pis..ed off wife at home. I knew nothing about concrete. Within 5 years I had 15 men working, a fully automated batch plant, 12 months of backlog and an engineer cranking out CAD drawings as fast as the plotter would go. Then I sold in 2000. Since then I have been working in a very high tech industry heading up an R&D group. You know what....it sucks. Six figure salery, full medical and dental, paid vacations and holidays, "comp" days....all of it. I have years and years of metal working experience and I am going to be a blacksmith as the final chapter of my life. You can take technology, Blackberrys and office politics and shove it! I am self taught and successful in every career path I have been in and this is a cake walk compared to others. So if anyone is selling (or knows anyone who is selling) East of the Mississippi.....I AM BUYING CASH$$$$$ Anvils, power hammers, any and all applicable hand and misc tools. (Traditional blacksmith tools only. no mills, lathes, band saws, etc. They are 0.05 on the dollar right now) I am interested and motivated. Here is you chance to get out if it is so bad.
