Re: Finally got into an actual shop!!!
Chin up Nick
Any experience you get is good because it will prepare you for the Nxt Shop When things are right. When I went Full time with my shop Auto Shine in 1991- 1998 it was the longest 7 years of my life. I started with 2 bays and 1 helper working 55 hrs wk and at the end was up to 7 bays and 6 employees working 80 hrs and sleeping at the shop 2 nights a week going over work that was done during the day that was not up to my standards.It took about 15 years off my life.It took me 3 years after that to even want to pick up a buffer again and it's fun again.

Wow, guy I moved everything back home 
Having a shop was just a HUGE hassle. You have to remember, I also work a full time job. And when I had the shop, I had 2 full time employee's. After the employee's started flaking out, I decided it was best to just bring everything back home, and just do it by myself again.
It was just too much hassle to have employee's and a shop to operate when I had a full time job to be at. I couldn't be there to police them, and make sure everything was going smoothly. It is so much easier now that I've moved everything back home, and just running everything myself. I hated to do it, but my stress level was through the roof!
