What kind of business TT?  Starting your own carpentry gig?   

I've actually got my own construction business now, however, I'm shutting it down first of the year. Times have been really slow and I've gotten so far behind financially that I can't catch up. Also, with dad now out of the business, I have to "technically" close down and restart regardless due to our partnership agreement.

I'm just gonna go work whatever job I can scrounge up for the next 3-6 months to pay the bills and come back with a better game plan the next time around. I went into it this time w/ no plan at all, basically woke up one day and said "let's do it". Went from idea to "in business" in less than 4 weeks.   make the beast with two backsing idiot.  

Needless to say, I've been kicking myself in the ass for most of the last 4 years. I'm also gonna branch out into remodeling and handyman type stuff more than I have in the past. I've mostly worked as a sub doing new construction stuff but that market has all but disappeared here.

Nope, it was a soccer injury.
