New business venture



I sold my lawn service a few months ago and stated working for my dad. Well that sucks. So I'm making a change.

I'm starting a powder coating business after the beginning of the year. I picked up my oven today.

Well Mike

If you have any questions about powder coating...I will be glad to help you..

That is one of the few things I know a little about. I did build a 7,000 sq ft. clean room and a 2 man walk in booth and 5 single gun booths with 2 pass through ovens and a cool room.

Also a 7 stage wash system and dryer.

Now if I knew a little about a powerstroke..that would be awesome......
