[TheForge] I don't have a job anymore...

[Jerry Smith]

Rich,

I would see America and Canada if I were you, instead
of just America.

Visitors to my shop never leave empty handed and I
generally feed them. Right now, we have a living room
floor and a porta bed if you want to stay longer. As
things grow, so will the house and the work building.
If you showed up tomorrow, you would be my electrical
helper, I am starting to put in my 200 amp service to
the shop building. Then in a month or so, put up
another building. All the time, heat and beating
steel, with doing some machining.

Jerry
