Yeah, hes my Idol too . Have known him for many years , I always get him for any concrete work that requires finishing because I don't have a machine. I do broom finish like sidewalks and patios . I am fixin to re roof out home office with GAF TPO which is a single layer roof sys that is glued down and I asked him if he wanted to help me ( 2 man job to handle the roll of roofing and to get adhesive down quickly) and he said he would be glad to . I figure he would be good at this roofing because he has a good eye and touch to get surfaces smooth.

Many people have to work into the years where others usually would be retired. It's most often not from choice--but out of necessity to eat.

I personally would prefer to man the front door at Walmart or clean up tables at Taco Bell or Bojangles.
