self employed! was a welder\ fabricator but when the boss sold the shop and moved and everyone got laid off last year, I thought I would start something up. so I do yard maintainance-snow removal-welding on the side-sled repairs or fabing or installing parts-oh heck I will do anything for food lol. any guys in sicamous area that need their driveways kept cleared for sleding trips just drop a note and I can do that! other wise I will be sledding or tinkering on the sleds!

2) My Dad and I have a mobile Auto glass business. Dad has over 30 yrs experence in glass and I have about 5 yrs working part time doing glass. So Dad and I thought we should start are own business, started our company this spring.(6 months)
3) I work with my wife (no comments please) with her Property Service and Management Company. She and I look after different properties with fixing, maintence, house and yard clean-ups, lawn mowing, snow removal,etc. She specializes in looking after, cleaning up, fixing and reselling dischevelled properties, you know, like the ones you see on T.V. Very interesting job as every one is completely different from the last !! (7 yrs)
As you can see I like to stay busy, better busy than bored !!! Especially in this economy !!

Heavy Duty Mechanic since '93, I can't divulge where I work or it will compromise cover.

Well after highschool I started out as an apprentice scaffolder, switched unions and became uncertified journeyman labourer (worked both unions at Petro Can refinery for Bantrel Constructors), got right sick of construction, long hours, workin shutdowns,etc so I now work for ATCO Power as an admin assistant/purchasing clerk III in Materials Management :)

Ya, well, you should be appreciative of the fact that I got you that job!! LOL but yes, the office gig apprenti was pretty sweet but don't get me wrong they threw me outside once in a while when the office was slow, to clean up scaffold decks, etc.. THEN way after you were gone, I got transferred to the scaffold yard, full time..then I really got a taste of working outside all the time it sucked !!
