I just went out on my own not too long ago. And that is the best thing to do. Make a list of the things you need the most and use the most. And put stuff that you could make or sub it with somthing eles on the back burnner. Unless you find a good deal. I also look at yard sales autions stuff like that. It's not easy starting with nothing and trying to run a company with no help. My dad is a contractor. But we don't get along. So I've started my company from the ground up without help. You can do it too man. Keep your head up. Millerz
