Vancouver Island, BC. The best place in the world to live, well in my humble opinion LOL;)
Heavy Duty Mechanic specializing in heavy equipment rebuild, mostly for the forest industry.:canada

I've got family in the Victoria area, been to Vancouver once, I've got to say it was a pretty amazing city, well really both Victoria and Vancouver are. Wouldn't mind staying with them for more than a week, or two. Haven't even considered looking at the job market.

I've been living in Newfoundland for 24 years. I have a small landscaping/excavating company in Nova Scotia (just started this year!) consisting of a mini excavator (Cat 301.8), a mini backhoe (Kubota BX25), 1 ton dump truck and some other stuff. Learning lots from this site and looking forward to moving on up to bigger gear when the money is right.
