Chapter 3...

[Moze]

....with Chapter 1 being my 10 year employment at Chandler Signs and Chapter 2 being the 12 years as Owner-Operator of Precision Sign Services.

Chapter 3 consists of seeking a remote or hybrid (remote with travel) position in the industry. LinkedIn post HERE if interested in the longer version.

Not an easy decision at all, but one that needed to be made in order to be better available to help aging parents.

Family first.

Totally get the aging parents / family first

MUCH RESPECT!!!

 

[GAC05]

Good luck with this.

I have a ton of sign-related stuff to part with. If anyone in the Dallas area needs anything, hit me up.

 

[Gino]

I applaud you.

Everything goes (except dewalt)!

Pretty close. Man I have so much stuff that I just don't need anymore. Silicone, VHB tape, ladders, squeegees, measuring pole, concrete anchors, wall anchors, carts....

Went through that with my parents and my wife's also. Full time job and years of stress. Now we are aging parents.

I'd be all over it if I was closer.

Three of my competitors are pushing 70 and I'm waiting to get the call for a "come & get it" fire sale.

Congratulations, and good for you. That says a lot about YOU and your character. I hope you find or create something suitable soon.

I'm in a similar boat... just moved the family to Florida to primarily be with my parents and help them as they start tackling their challenges with aging (knee replacements, cancer, etc.).

Good luck to you moze.
WMy father-in-law went in hospital early July, bounced from hospital to rehab back and forth
Died middle of september
My wife has been between hospital and rehab since middle of august.
Just got her home a couple weeks ago. (Hospital bed and wheelchair in the house)

I have hardly touched anything in the shop since July, so I feel your pain.
I don't WANT to close the shop and liquidate, but, if I don't see a huge improvement in another month or so,
I may keep my consulting clients & pull the plug on the rest
WHAT A WASTE that would be

 

[Johnny Best]

Moze will be upgrading those electric motors.

Yeah, it's definitely not an easy decision.

You know it.

I think moze is the real entity... The rest is just equipment.

Sounds good, along with 'Gino' - a spinoff hybrid of Dexter meets Tony Soprano, using a sign shop as a front for his "sanitation" business.
