Thanks everyone! Im going to have to read up on the 925 irs pasive activity at risk rules, I had initaly thought a LLC disregarded entity would be an option to might be in.  I realy need to be looked at the options more, and decide on future complications.  Totaly doing an s corp or llc and filing as s corp ?

Great topic! im trying to listen and learn you all so thanks.
I have been lookin around the sba sites for information and get info overload quick.
I have seen quick books for business online and desktop versions not knowing much of either.  I thought about learning the new quickbooks at the local university ag extension center.  I just need to hear more from the business people directly involved. I believe my startup in this is a little ways up the road, and a bit more learning from you all, and hands on training a must.  So is it a big deal to get a business number first so expenses are presently legit, And are bussines bank accounts required to have your tax no. listed. i hope this isnt jackin the thread up
So any jokes are cool
Thanks

They are a old company like 1940s based out of chicago here but some machining started from germany, model numbers on the machine will no doubt be a need.
I have heard pros mention having them, but im not a pro.  If some pictures could be posted there is always some answers and i would like to here about them.

What would be a good width for pieces of luan or whatever up there if future wiring or whatever access is wanted. Did i see insulation board in the pic to be used also.
Hey thanks to both of you for the pics I realy appreciate the help understanding your projects.

Is this how im to get this, use dual lock on the bottom side of framing/deck support so as to mount luan board to so it could have access if and whenever. then use adhesive for 1'' foam to luan between the track.  in whatever way that is some super products your using and put together for a great job on that one.
592
Can you post any pictures of this start, Im interested in the base/framing

thanks
593
1 yes
1a electronic capabilities on sew machines, hot knifes, foam etc.
2 somewhat
3 not realy- but recycled circle if thats the game
4 quantity not a related quality
4b no one could afford the products

Ideas uh, Thoughts i got - old booth seats, mooring covers, burbon chairs,
cool bucket seats, bike & atv seats, marine vinyl and water.  I have always seen people qualify these as worth while and maintain way more than they or i should have.

answer - a lot more of us are in the same range of income

Just to get some kaklin going Im not so old i cant learn new tricks
:P
On a side note though having knowledge of salliemae, and title 4, and college grant stuff from the ole kitchen table planning or discussing, its a pain.  Most training I see is strictly out of pocket savings,  dont rush to thinking where im going.  Pro training is where im looking simply because at my age I understand what its like to have a pro in the room and knowing I did apprentice work many years ago and a different feild of study.
Im kinda po  because 529's or 401 wds cannot be used for most/all i been seeing trade module training without a he- very heavy tax penalty.

im here learning from you guys so bring it on, uh this here shoulder is sore though haha

All i can say at this spring training time is Good Eye, for bringing and sharing that. Its a reason this forum has so many professionals as yourself.
Ive been trying to do home work  I guess it is anyway for myself re careering.
As i put 30 plus years in a different occupation and now have had the idea and oppurtunity  to pursue a talent that i enjoyed being a very small part of as a senior in school.
To close Id like to say Im from the school where apprenticeship and work matters.

Again Thanks

I am convinced repitition is the best,  dealing with all of the calls is some other topic that i need to study.  Theres several ways people are checking and valuing options before commiting to be your customers.  Its almost like you need to funnel the question  to info for your particular routine.  Anyhow you always heard them say in marketing the more people see or hear an ad is the proven winner.  Not so much the big sign or blinking, but other repitition.
It worked for my drill Sargent!

Aspiring almost started to consider being an apprentice,  im trying to look way down the road on this topic. 
Guys business is talented personel in demand, how it is known is the asset.
i wish i already had your talents yet i feel comitment. 
i had an oppurtunity as my earlier seniorship in school part time removing finishes on furniture, and the labor for loading and delivery of reupholstered, refinished products. they were good trade people to work with.
Im Back
