Born and bred on the farm till dad sold up.
I started working life as a apprentice carpenter and studied for clerk of works. self imployed for a bit then studied more and was a building inspector for few years (sick of office) and ended up in civil construction for a few years (operator,pipelayer, setout etc). Then went back to building to help old man get through some jobs so he could retire and the phone started ringing for jobs and hasnt shut up since(the joys of owning a business). Being vesatile helps to keep me in work in that i do my own concrete,timber,roof plumbing,floor wall tiling etc.had a few blokes working for me but down to 1 now. also bought a farm 8 years ago.

Always have and always will play with cars,bikes (dirt and road) and boats.

I'm a Painter and Decorater, started my apprenticeship when i was 16 in 94, quit the first job i ever had in 2011 to start my own business, didnt go down well with the boss

Sounds exactly like Rodney funnily that could be his path, only his father didnt sell the farm and he started building with no family ever being builders before him

With the number of MySandman members in Adelaide you should be renting a small industrial unit with a booth and just paint Sandman's for a year. By the time you paint your own you'll know them back to front.
