    If considering starting a business, you could work with your local Small Business Administration to get a realistic idea of all the various nuts and bolts aspects that would be involved that on your own you may not already know you'd need to consider.

    Some even offer workbooks and in-house courses that allow you to do initial feasibility studies for the idea you have in mind.

    Oops, almost missed this one... Thanks for your notion & gesture.
    I will definitely do that. I should have already applied for a business license - when I looked into it previously (although not in-depth) it did not seem too complicated. It was mentioned that tax write-offs (my biggest excitement - tools with a discount!!) may be harder to come by than they once were for small businesses. Something to the tune of, I have to prove certain company income in order to receive the tax credit. See... then it got complicated so I got drunk instead.

    Did you ever get into Steel Detailing 7 years ago or did you go a different route?

    Jason, do you want to move up to the Aspen area? I'm actually heading BACK into architecture after taking a couple of years off to work for an audio/visual company in Aspen designing in-home theaters. Company also does home integration, home control, lighting control, shades and shade control. Great place to work, but I need to get back to what I went to school for and what I love to do. We have an office in the Denver area, and in Vail, that might be looking for architects/architectural drafters.
    It's an option.
