We are still very interested in checking out different areas but probably somewhere in the North Central area. I have a small business that I want to bring with me for something to do and for a little extra income. I sharpen chipper knives, chainsaw chain and sell chainsaw chain along with some welding and machine shop work. How would this business work out in this area?

Anyone in WV who does NOT own a chainsaw, please raise your hand.

Not so much in the larger cities/towns but many many people in WV have woodstoves to supplement their heating bills. Most people I know in rural areas cut their own firewood. Of course, the welding and shop work would probably be more suited for a more populated area.

I'm originally from Wheeling, but have been living in the NYC area for the past 15 years. I now have residences in both Connecticut and Morgantown, and will be an official West Virginia and Monongalia County resident in two weeks.

Did not know that about the NC and German - hmmm, my dad's folks were in Grafton and although not pure German, German was predominant in the heritage.

Glad to have you as an "official" WV resident.
