I Live In Denver
I live in Denver! I am pretty close to where Colorado Blvd intersects with Evans Ave. I really have enjoyed living in Denver, and I feel it's a good place to make a life. I just need to build more of a social network.
I work for myself - I have a small construction company and I help people replace their roofs (and anything else) after they endure a bad hail and/or wind storm. I also do regular work too - just when things need to be repaired because of wear and tear - but I am very good at working with the insurance companies and getting the homeowner a better deal.
That makes me feel good. It's a bit like Robin Hood - because the insurance companies are SO RICH, and I enjoy getting my clients a good deal. Especially when I'm doing a roof replacement utilizing their homeowner's insurance - I can manage to do the job for just the cost of their deductible (usually). This means the homeowner gets like a $20,000.00 roof, for just like $1k. That's a pretty good deal.
I also do a job that exceeds local building code. I grew up in the woods - in a very rural place. I was brought up that your reputation was very important, and something you could not repair once it was broken. So, I keep that same kind of a mindset when working with people out here. Since nobody else seems to have much honesty within them and their business, people really appreciate my methods. I haven't ever advertised, and I have been lucky enough to be able to get enough business off just word of mouth and referrals.
But, I get depressed, and then I keep to myself. I feel like building a huge business, and lots of money - is greedy - unless I have a family or at least a partner or something depending upon the income as well. I don't know, it's likely a problem within my own head - but I just work better with other people caring about what I'm doing too. I like to be kind, and it makes me feel good at the end of the day, knowing that I helped my clients out more than another company would have done. Plus, it's nice driving around and being able to point at all the roofs I've replaced, and I haven't ever had to go back and fix one - after I replaced it. So as far as that goes, I'm still 'batting 1.000" which is pretty sweet.
Anyway, living in Denver is nice. I like the business that I have found, but I still really need to add a lot of social activity and stuff - before I will feel this is "home."
I have a dog though, and she's always there for me!
