No problem Beth. The wood he uses is exotic wood for his pieces. The best part of this is that he had 25-30 people come up to him and said they came down there to see him. He also got two more orders. Charlie

Any solid color you can have it tinted at a paint store. This product should only be used on the vertical surfaces. Charlie Send me $$$. -
How many jobs did you get in the first couple of months of starting up?
charlie replied to Brian Sawyer's question in The Club House
Set a goal and go for it. Making it a goal of $2500.00 and in no time 1000.00 could be in a week. Believe in yourself don't listen to neg people. But the most inportant is to look at your business as a way of helping people freeing up there time, not lining your pockets with money. Good Luck. Charlie -

charlie replied to Brian Sawyer's question in The Club House
Let me ask you, do you have any experience in a service business? Are you goal oriented, meaning have you set goals and achieved them before in anything you did before, example ( businesses, sports, personnel life ), if so you on your way. My suggestion is do it part time till you feel comfortable in dealing with the ups and downs of running a business. Another suggestion is keep your eyes open around you of potential customer. To answer your question I can not. Any other questions PM me. Good Luck -

What motivates me. I like taking something from nothing and developing it. Before I start an endevor I always tell people about it, if they try to discourage me I work harder to make it work. So whats motivate I guess the nay sayers. Another thing that keeps me going is taking off in the winter and helping kids through coaching basketball. Currently I coach a 3rd grade and 7th grade boys basketball team for the optimist group. Doing a basketball clinic on Sunday, for that the cost is 2 can goods for a local food pantry, An now I am a asst. coach for a middle school basketball team. So when this all done my vacation starts cleaning and restoring decks, fences, and concrete. Charlie
