Hi All. I am Terry (tains). I live on Vancouver Island. I needed a change of career after doing the same job for 27 years. I decided to shut down my construction surveying business I operated for 12ish years in the Alberta Oil Sands.
I really enjoy working with wood so I decided to get my Builders licence 3 years ago and maybe build one or two houses a year. Well there is a bit of a boom on in the Parksville area and I got way too busy at building houses and renovations. Unfortunately I was working too much and started developing injuries to my back, elbows(tennis elbow) and shoulders. Not sure what I was thinking starting a house building business at the age of 48 having not done much in the way of strenuous physical work before.
I was talking with a friend and he was telling me how successful his mid 20's son was doing at day trading so I stumbled across Andrews book and found it very interesting. After about a month of reading and you tubing I decided to join the community. Still have lots to learn and will likely start in the simulator with in the next month.
Looking forward to the journey and if there is any other Islanders here give a shout out.
