In the early 70s, Arvid started Myrold Construction and built many homes and apartment buildings in the greater Seattle and surrounding areas. He was a very skilled and talented carpenter. He did it all from framing and drywall to flooring and masonry work. He was quite the craftsman. On April 29, 2008, Arvid suffered a stroke paralyzing his right leg and arm and confining him to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life. Even though he wasnt able to speak or walk, he most always was still in good spirits and was happy to see his family and friends when they came for visits.
