Yeah you're right growler, the local Good-Will is probably out of the price range, hand-me downs might be a better option at least for a few years anyway. My other thoughts are, Does your wife work and make enough to support the family if you have one? Do you have alot of savings put away to pay the bills? Are there generous relatives nearby to help out financially? Seriously, unless you're already connected so to speak and have your networks set, it aint easy to get established and be profitable, not easy at all. Now if you already have set customers such as builders or multiple property landslords and they will keep you busy, well that's a different story. Like already mentioned here, be more specific on what the reason was for your initial failure.
