Why waste money on maintenance when someone will buy you a new one when the thing breaks down and gives up the ghost? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law runs an engineering business over there, he is in charge of the farm contracting business as well as the private hire of the new Toyota van, he's so good at his job others bring him jobs that other mechanics have failed on but he always sorts the problem out, he's quite amazing, a genius even, so we are in safe hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady sitting is my wife Mercy and Edgar is the guy in shorts, I don't think Health & Safety exists in PH but Edgar looked after our old van which is still a good runner & been round the clock several times, he is buying us a 6x6 lorry this week for hauling Sugar cane and lumber, I'll be interested to see what he buys !! This is why I value my wife's family so much, they are quality who can be 100% trusted, a rare quality in PH hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Kid Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Good luck on your venture. I've been trying to remember anyone on this site that has had a truly profitable business endeavor who hasn't lost their shirt thinking they will make a big score. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think living there makes it better to see a project through to completion and make a success of a business venture ( even in the UK you need to be hands on ) , I will be more hands on next year and what you say makes total sense. I am 1 in a thousand to have an educated family who are trustworthy and love to see the business grow, they know that both myself and my wife are doing this for a future for us in our retirement but it is also their inheritance, to this end they work very hard for success, with a great future for them that they never thought possible. In short the old saying of your strength being in your family is so very true & important. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
