Default Trying something New!

Hi everyone! I just thought I would let you all know I have found me a new sidekick. His name is Bill and he is totally blind since 1967. He is a very talented and well traveled man. He buy's old houses and remodels them for resale or rent. He builds his own cabinets and everything. Does all his own electrical work etc. He is willing to take me on and teach me how to do it as a blind person. I already know how to do all this as a sighted person but it's different as a blind one. I am looking forward to this great adventure. He also travels with a guide dog so Lou will have a friend also while I am working. I will keep you posted on how this progress's
Ron

Ron,
Seeing your "carvings in the dark" I have complete confidence in you whatever you undertake. I might sweat a little if you became a pilot, but I bet you'd be a good one! Keep us posted.
