Yeah you wouldn’t find shit like that here in the states. At least not anywhere near a major city. That’s pretty cool of that man. Guess there are still some good people left in this world. It gives me hope at least.

Here's the board. Using a plastic J track that is a pain I. The ass to work with. Tape starts tomorrow. double time tomorrow, time and a half today. Uncle Sam is going to love me this week!

 

[Logan44551]

Threw up 98 boards on Sunday. Spanked everyone I'm working with bad. Now I'm stuck on all the roll up doors. Probably 30 of them pain In the ass, worse part is the other guys are on the gravy and ain't throwing up any big numbers at all

 

[Logan44551]

Boxing out the roll up doors today, ran out of J-track

Starting to see more of these ESports buildouts. Kinda cool, wicked easy, but still better than the norm. Entertainment has begun to pass me by I think, absolutely becoming an old dog. I'm just not into this stuff but I'll fucking build it if they have money. We have an 18,000sqf Esports job happening soon, too.

Damn that looks brutal! Hell of a shoulder workout.

I'm wicked pumped gents. I landed my first personal contract that's over six figures. I'm trying to pull 30+ points out of it but you never know, could be a little more or less. Just happy as fuck to have a good contract at the start of the year!

I started a minority owned company last year and haven't put a shit ton of attention into it as of yet. Times are changing though...

Atta boy! Congratulations icky!

Thanks dude. 5 or 6 of these jobs a year plus my regular 9-5 would make life really fucking comfortable.

Is the end game to quite the 9-5 and just do your own thing or to have both?

I would love to have both income streams tbh, lol. If I can generate equal cash flow from my personal company I would entertain the idea of leaving my 9-5. There would have to be a clear path regarding scaling the business though.

One thing the wife and I have talked about is bringing her into the business full time if it was generating enough for her to leave dental. She makes decent cash now but it's not good for her neck or back. I'd love to see her selling technology. My industry is almost 100% men and I figure a good looking 5'2" blond chick with big boobs could sell ice to an Eskimo

Congratulations Icky! You deserve it !

I'm trying to pull 30+ points out of it

I'm definitely not afraid to ask questions nor show my ignorance but what are "points "?
