I did this a while back & it's been non-stop from daylight to dusk then to the shop with me for repairs until midnight most days. I make sure to take a little time with the bear cub in the evenings. Don't forget that part. He's just getting old enough to be scattering all of my tools worse than me. It is a feeling like none other. The freedom & also wondering how the next months payments will be made in time. It all works it's way out though. No kidding on the corporate structure BS. It's a nightmare with my new line of self-employment. I'll have to swing by for coffee & check out that old shed you'll be working in the next rain day we get. Congrats & good luck again!!!!!

Fortunately, I have no idea what it feels like to punch a time clock. June of 2015 I'll have 20yrs in as a plumber and I started full-time the day after I graduated high school. The trades have been pretty good to me thus far and I really enjoy the fact and freedom of not punching a time clock. So far I have really only worked for 2 different companies (1st one retired) and I really have no desire to be self-employed. I'm happy packing a lunch box every day and giving an honest 8, then coming home to my family where I can focus on our interest & not having to let my work interfere with my family life. My dad owned several businesses the majority of his life and it was a big turn-off for me! Different strokes for different folks. ...... I truly wish you the best! ================================================== I'm a proud member of the BGE cult ... yes, I consider myself an EGGHEAD
