Just sayin.. I am disabled and on a fixed income but trade minor gun work and computer/network repair for labor to maintain my property and cars.

My son is starting to help me out with it, he is in collage and spares about 10-15 hours a week as well.
The problem with emails and phone calls, everyone wants an expert help on the phone and preferably for free ;0)
Not everyone will talk to the assistant,
But we are working on the expansion, and hoping to move this forward to lift it of the hobby ground in to more reliable operation.
And if i get a talented and dedicated manager , customer experiences will improve, I am just not a peoples person per say.. more of the gun person ;0) the older the better.
Same goes for people strangely, old school people just have more patience for the art.
