Default Starting new business

My cross dressing uncle & I will be installing granite counters.

The business he worked for is going out of business, & he's left with some basic tools & wants me on board.

I'll keep you all updated. Not sure if I'm gonna stick to it, don't think my uncle & I have the same view on things.

He's complaining that it's "stupid" to have a a) truck b) trailer for lawn service.

LOL

"get a used van Scott, don't be stupid"

1) Don't want a lawn mower chucked in the back of my head if I get into an accident

2) People have died by explosions, with gas cans in their vans. Cigarettes kill!

3) It just looks silly. Truck + Trailer looks professional, & it's what our customers are used to.

He says with that new law, that MAY be passed... Grass bagging will become illegal bla bla, a van would be best... PSHHH, I don't want a van!

He says Vans have great ad space... TRUE, but enclosed trailers have MORE!

Also more room for opportunity with a trailer. Can't get a ZTM in a van now can we?

ANYWAY!

Have a great day guys! I'm giving another company a hand hedge trimming, I'm BORED!

I have one question for you. With this new company, will there be a dress code? If so what is it

If you're working with him, you can always skirt that law.
