hey good luck coffee!

that'll be some hard work but if you run it well it should pay off.

My dad owns a construction business and i work for him in the summer when i'm out of school.

My uncle owns his own blacksmithing shop in Iowa. He did all the metal work for the movie Amistad and met Steven Spielberg in person for it. Also he makes his own firearms, like black powder rifles and he even made a civil war-era gatling gun that works %100.

My dad has tossed around a few ideas and is now trying to get a nursery started. No not a baby nursery, but one for plants and what not. He also wants to have some stone work and stuff there too.

He used to co-own one but had some "problems" with his partner and sold his share of the business for some $$$$ and the land we now have our house on.

My brother is starting up a custom car shop.

I also work at a family owned korean restraunt. While they aren't my blood relatives, they consider me to be part of their family. I'm like the little white son they could never have.
