It's not pretty and really cramped. After working for 10 years for my last boss he decided to throw in the towel and retire. I can't say that I blame him one bit... so I've been unemployed for almost a month as a result. Funny thing is that I still have customers. I don't think I'd ever be able to pay the bills doing this stuff but I do have the equipment and know-how... my whole setup is custom built and ever evolving using pieces and parts from all kinds of machines over the years. Living in a crappy, tiny 1br apartment in a building with a locked entrance and a 6x6x12 mailbox simply doesn't allow for me to pursue working on my own as much as I'd like. I always did this stuff because I enjoy it and feel like I can produce more than acceptable results for a certain price... not just because I was paid to do it. I wasn't paid enough to live anywhere but in a tiny, crappy apartment after all. I don't even have a van to live in down by the river so I'm not sure if my situation is much better than Matt Foley's.
