Hi there YES I am, Its that thing one finds when they combine something they love doing into a job.
Im working on setting up a shopsomething along the lines of Habitat for humanity, an op shop where people donate their unwanted stuff to me to sell on and use the bucks to buy trees to plant. I bought a building/ex petrol station on state highway one in the Rangitikei district central north island and will run it out of here.
Am gearing up, painting the inside, will start small then take the wall ot into a bigger space.
