  6. The amazing wood kid

    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
  7. Stain Colors

    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 $$$.
  8. 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
  9. 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

  13. What is your motivation?

    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
