Through the Pipe

Postby Deltaman » Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:07 am

Married his mother when he was ten years old, and being ADHD, sure made it challenging. He was like a sponge, loving and absorbing the hunting and fishing part of our lives. At fifteen, he took a left, and the next 10 years he put us through more than any parent should have to endure, but the reward of seeing him finally get past all of the BS he got into, has been quite the reward. His lifetime dream has been to build custom aluminum boats, and while I got the #7 hull, and one of my brothers has ordered #8, seems his T-Top and platform business will be his true passion. Check out some of his custom work:

Good for him, looks like some great looking work! I see that industry going nowhere but up for the foreseeable. :beer:

And obviously props to you for sticking with him and now seeing such positive result

Thanks, it has been a journey, and I can't help but smile when I see the work he is now producing. He moved his shop across the bay to Foley, to be closer to Orange Beach, because he figured the window of opportunity was larger. He now tells me it wasn't a larger window, it was a large "door", of opportunity. Just happy to see him excel, doing something he loves :thumbsup:
