I have been working on an exit plan as well. 59 is way too old to be crawling in attics. Very few youngsters are willing and able to do this job. No work ethic from their parents. My two older boys have worked for me, but I do not want them to follow in my footsteps. One got a job in IT, the other one is still in school.

About the only way I see going forward, is to tighten the belt, raise your rates, and start skimming as much cash as you can from the business. I am looking in to real estate, sales skills are still sharp as ever, and there has never been a better time to be in that industry in Texas.

Lot of things available if you want to work.

my nickle,
