So here we are at the end of this class.  My chickens are happy, they come out to see me when I am in their yard.  Today, my daughter and I unloaded a trailer load of firewood that we picked up while working laying a ton (more than that literally) beautiful slate on a deck in my dad's back yard. We layed down over two hundred sq. ft. the last two days.  It is really beautiful so far.  I will put down at least another six hundred feet down before we are finished. It is only a small part of the yard, but it will become an important area once we are done.  I was too dirty and tired to take a picture so you will just have to believe me on this.  Anyways, now to the points.  The chickens are happy, my daughter is very happy to have them, and I am actually happy for both the chickens and my daughter.  The girls will be laying eggs in a few months and the Egg Ranch will soon become a business.  Beyond that, today while working, my daughter broached the concept of starting a business flipping houses.  We discussed it for several hours while working and I have told her that we will have to put together an actual business plan to present to an investor.  This will have to be very detailed and highly accurate. I now actually have a small crew of increasingly skilled craftsmen in my daughter  who is the multiple full academic scholarship winner from several universities including BYU Provo as an entering freshman.  That was not the best school that offered either. Also my young fourteen year old son has really proven himself this summer too. He has been working and doing a grown man's job in mixing concrete and mortar along with general construction labor jobs as assigned.  I have been impressed (and that does not happen to me easily in the trades)

So to the point again,  I am actually interested in starting that business as a family business.  My daughter has worked in the trades with me since she was four years old and is qualified to be a swimming pool contractor by herself.  So as a smug and happy daddy, I think I will sign her off and let her do that and also possibly take another jump into a serious entrepreneurial venture.  I have done this several times in the past, but I will have to admit that this specific class has kinda worn my resistance to it down, so congratulations, job well done.
