Hey Hootz (?)!

We ended up getting a Recoil XPS with a little giant heater...then worked our way up to a 4.0 Spitfire (easy guys, Im new!) We plan to start cleaning full time (we both have full time jobs, so cc'ing is part time right now for us) at the beginning of next year and will be buying our first new TM by this time next year if $$$ allows it. We are just trying to build a client base so we have work for the coming year!.....Crosses fingers!

Good to hear from you Steve...long time, not talk!

Yes sir its Hootz.

Good to hear I've seen you two are making your way. Just be sure you guys will have the work to supplement your incomes. I've seen folks quit their fulltime jobs and crash. Looks like you're doing well though. Best of luck my friend!

Ya I hear you Hootz! Going full time is gonna be kind of a gamble, but sometimes you have to be "thrown to the wolves" to
see if you can succeed! Thanks for the wishes!

Quitting that day job with vacation days, insurance, benefits, and a stable income is not a gamble, I like to think of it as a calculated risk!

Wish it was that easy Chris! Also thanks for the advice Curtis..lol!!

My situation is a little more complicated. I am self employed right now (have been for the last 12 years) so....I have no vacation days, pay my own insurance, no benefits, and know what its like to NOT have a steady income. Thanks for the advice though.
