Grew up with a Dad that had built houses when he was young and the went on to become a heavy equipment mechanic. Then I had a grandpa that also built houses, did general carpentry/cabinet work and tinkered in the garage. I went on to become a mechanic as my main profession, but still find myself doing construction and industrial maintenance repair work when needed. I did a little of it all when growing up myself beause of the influnces of my dad and grandpa and found that I just liked the challenge of the mechanic side more than anything else thus my main focus. Still I enjoy the challanges offered by the maintenance side of things too when given the opportunity to troubleshoot and get a piece of equipment back up and running. All that along with the satisfation achieved by the carpentry side when you can see the results of your work in what you built, just gives me the opportunity to learn and do more an alot of people ever get the opportunity to do.
I guess my best advice would be for him to look to what he really enjoys the most as a main career but don't be afraid to branch out and learn new things, whether they are your most favorite thing to do or not. Just remember the more things you can do the less likely you are to go hungry when times get tight....

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
