| 1. when we were broke my husband would do all kinds of things to make money. |

he would junk cars. he would do odd jobs. It's amazing how creative you can get when you have to pay rent and feed kids.

| 2. Since people aren't buying new homes or trading up, there is construction work in remodeling |
