re: I'm tired of working for someone else.

I have thought about that in the past. Maybe time to revisit it. 2 of my superintendents left to start their own companies but both came from framing labor backgrounds and do most of the work themselves. I am middle management with a degree and little hands on experience as far as labor goes.
My other issue is that I would need to get more than just my bosses business to succeed. something i would have to look into.
