No mention of Tex and my BIG squeegee all the ladies like to hold in their hand?
100% agree. Boy I wish I could have had some hands-on help when I first started operations. I was in a similar situation where the previous owners were ready to retire and they wanted OUT, completely. Up until a couple months ago I hadn't heard a word from them for almost 3 years. Then one of them stopped by one day out of the blue and visited my shop for the first time...for about ten minutes before bolting. Sometimes retired means retired. So consider yourself lucky if the current/former owner is willing to help you get launched.
I have to rely on Gino and his gang here at Signs101 for tutelage, which comes with some abuse but I just brush it off. I've learned a lot from Youtube videos as well, mostly install and wrap techniques.
