made good money out the job mainly from painting steel work - painting concrete plants on the books on a price we could knock 3 n half grand in 10 days - always aimed for retirement at 55 .. dealing antiques is a cracking way to make a living i take it for granted it dont feel like work .. look after it in the summer gets you through the winter ..:thumbs:
