New Newbie Here!
I am a general contractor, but my entry into this field is perhaps different than the usual way people get into this. I started out as a DIYer, and this soon became handyman work. I am now a licensed conractor in California.
I am amazed at what I've learned over the past 5 years, and my customers rave about me, but there are some deeper problems with how I'm running my business. I hope you all can help answer some of my questions, and I'll do my best to do the same. |

First to receive help, it helps if your location is in your profile. Next as Riboflavin aka B2 is water soluble and not stored in the body which requires you to replenish the vitamin every day. Same here, in order to continually grow & get help you should be here daily. |

Re: New Newbie Here!
Good catch on the B2, Sean! We all want to stay 'healthy' in our business and coming here often is one way to do it.
