How many of you own or manage your own businesses out there. Post what kind of business it is and what you do. Don't worry about how small a business it is we want to hear about all of em. Here's your chance for some free advertising.

I had my own remodeling business when I was in college, still do the work on the side but now I have a job that I do not have to constantly worry about keeping busy. I do kitchen remodels (cabinets and laminate countertops), tile floors, wood floors, door replacements, window replacements, and new/replacement trim and crown molding. I am perfectly honest if I do not want to do something I will let you know up front, no super high number hoping that I do not get the job.

I had my own construction biz for 6 years.......if I still had it I would be much better off

I had 11 guys workin for me

we did a **** ton of concrete work as well as septic/leach field, water lines , sewer lines

most anything that a backhoe and dumptruck could do

the best money was in the concrete but I will tell you even with all the right tools and equipment it was still hard work but we didnt drown anyone in sweat so its all good man

I run a small masonry business, "Stone Art Masonry" is the name. I do all types of masory work from brick and block to cultured(fake,man made) and natural stone. Been in business for about 2 years. Really slow this year though. So I also get locked into a cage and fight in front of thousands of people for money.

I own and run a Hydro Seeding business. Mark's Total Lawn Care is the name I use.

No one working for me. Just me, myself and I. We stay plenty busy for trying to keep it part-time.

Run and manage a small logging and tree care company. just me and a buddy or two, but I'll cut timber for big companies when they get busy, or I'll do jobs they don't want to. Tree care is some trimming, but mostly removals, and of course storm cleanup.

Amazing how much work a guy with a saw can do when he has some experience.
