My father ran his own business for a long time.
It’s a sign making business and he has done well over the years.
I always thought he had some neat gadgets and he even has a 3D printer and he can print all kinds of amazing signs with that thing. He can print all kinds of other things too like replacement parts and things of that nature. He always thought I was going to follow his footsteps and take over the business one day, but I honestly wasn’t interested. I actually wanted to make my way into the HVAC industry. I worked hard studying the history of HVAC systems and how to work on them. I was especially fascinated with newer technology like smart thermostats and smart HVAC systems. I think the new ductless mini splits are incredibly impressive with their line sets that have pre compressed refrigerant. That not only makes it so the average homeowner can install an HVAC system, but it makes life easier for the professionals as well. Of course, you have to call the professionals to take care of regular maintenance and care, even if you install your own HVAC. So eventually, I became an HVAC professional and it was great working in the business. Something I learned on the job was that certain parts with older HVAC systems are hard to find. I ended up asking my father if he could print me HVAC parts, and he was able to do many of them. The rare parts became so high in demand, I ended up getting into business with my father after all, just printing HVAC parts and other components.
