You do not need them all. The jobs you accept should be enjoyable, profitable and safe. Safe to you, your staff, and the family you are working for. It is also nice when your projects can stretch you creative abilities. In decorative concrete it is enough the gamble with your fame and fortune... it is unnecessary to gamble with your health and life. Live long and prosper. @Andrew Williams
