Macwire,
The funny thing about my business was that I didn't want to give it up. I had 4 full time men working for me. Most of my employees had their own lic. and 1 even had an inspectors lic. What happened was that 1 man went back into his own business. The 2nd man went back to being an inspector. The helper left me because some one offered him $1 more an hour. ( With me he got a truck and gas. With the other EC he had to use his own truck.) My foreman had just got his lic. so he would go out and do "side" jobs. Well he worked for me a week. Left for a week, worked a week, left for 2 weeks, etc. We just parted as friends. As a matter of fact he bought my business out when I became the inspector. BTY the town asked me to become their inspector, I wasn't looking for the job. My friend who was the inspector died. So I filled in for him.
