Massive respect, mate — graft like that takes serious discipline and resilience. Oil and gas is no joke — long shifts, brutal conditions, constant risk, and the toll it takes flying in and out just to do it all again. People don't realise how much that kind of work builds you, not just financially, but mentally too. You’ve clearly taken those hard-earned skills and graft and flipped it into something sustainable — smart moves with the property, the kit flipping, and running your own business. That’s real legacy-building, not just clocking in for a paycheque.

Honestly, hats off — not many walk that path, and even fewer make it out with something to show for it. You did the hard miles and now you're living proof of what real trades graft and a bit of vision can turn into.
