Hello,
I cannot believe the amount of information that you share on this forum. It is amazing!!! I believe God always supplies you with answers to your prayers and you guys and gals sure do have a lot of answers. I have gone back in your history of threads and studied many of them. especially the one pertaining to new business start ups. I do have more questions that I have not found the answers to, but this is not the thread for the questions. I'm supposed to tell you about myself, but here I am just rambling on, so here it goes.
I started painting for my father's business at 8 years old. I don't think I was much help other then being a gopher then and somebody for him to talk to while working by himself. (Where were those child labors laws back then.)

Anyways, at sometime I found myself with a brush and roller in my hand. Later I found to appreciate doing a good job versus slopping paint on the wall. I'll always remember Dad saying"put some paint on that roller" he could tell by the sound I was pushing down real hard to squeeze paint out. I've painted for friends and family over the years and now find myself wanting to do it more. So it is now time to turn (as you say) professional. Here I am with some 40 years experience and after reading your forum threads, I feel as if I am just beginning. So here I am.
Thankyou for everything you have taught me so far and for future lesson.
