As I look back on 2013 I realize this has been a big transition in my life. At the beginning of the year I finished a log home and I took a couple months off doing small jobs. My partner by my side kristi has been a godsend to me not only helping me out but being a great figure in my childrens lives. Around the month of April went to trial for an assault charge on my ex wife. Anytime I was very anxious and very nervous about the outcome knowing and I was completely innocent there was always a chance the court system might see it differently. Doing the trial as I took the stand I realize how angry I was because of the lie that was told that I would actually harm a woman. I also wondered how two people that loved each other and took a vow of marriage could end up in court with false pretense. I was declared innocent and by the sound of the judge is not very happy that we were even in court for such an alleged assault.
During the summer it was a tough time small jobs were still coming in little by little. Then one day in August as I was driving to my bank depositing money the teller told me that the old branch manager want to get ahold of me about building a deck and fencing in her back yard. Toward the end of the job the neighbor just so happen to walk across the yard and talk to me. He spoke to me about that he was a general contractor and had some upcoming work if I was interested in some of it. I told him absolutely any also let me know that the work some of it was in Charlotte and there was a big project in Atlanta if I was interested.
By the end of September I was in Atlanta remodeling bathrooms and supervising two additions on back of an assisted living community. Those two jobs ran from the end of Sept to the beginning of Christmas. The experience in Atlanta was pretty cool with living in the city I've never been to before and having the opportunity to have my children come down and I took them to the aquarium and the zoo while I was down there.
To sum up 2013 I would have never realized that in a year from building log homes to being in Atlanta Georgia building an assisted living community. 2014 is looking like the best year in business. With all the job opportunities out there and potential projects on my plate including a log home in Banner Elk this year is setting up to be one of my best years ever. Something up the last two or three years of my life it has been a rough road the 2013 has truly been enjoyable and definitely has been one for the books. I didn't make a lot of money this year I kept my head above water I'm behind on some payments 2014 I'm here right now and I'm very excited to get this year going.
