Welcome aboard Glostanative. Your family history is something that I and many others could relate ourselves. My family came from Cuba in the early 60’s with just the cloths in their back, literally nothing else. My Dad started working two different jobs the Miami Airport and I could only see him on Sunday mornings because he only had 4 hours off.
But here we are and always remember what our parents had to go through.
Let us know when will you be starting to build something.
