With the help of a good friend/business partner we signed the lease on a 4000sq ft building last night. I can finally start doing my paint work and all the mechanical work to get my side work going again. Still keeping my day job though. Eventually it will turn into my full time business. Just excited at taking the first step. after doing it for 15 years for someone else I get to do it for me and the stress of having to do it their way is gone. Feels real good.

Now just have to get the equipment in the place and set it up so its ready to go.:cool1:
