Okay, i know responding to you is going to not be beneficial but Im bored so what the hay:
Yes i did quit my job after many months of thinking about doing this, also I own 4 other small businesses so between those and the HA stuff, im making enough to survive. One of my side businesses is actually software development. I am fluent in Python, Ruby, PHP and as well Java. My electrical engineering wife and I frequently build our own systems like an automatic dog feeder, all of which I design, build, program and implement myself with her helping me with the math. Yep! I have been in construction for a few years since i graduated college. I was a Project Manager over roughly $35 Million in total project value. Also yep, have a few good friends who are large custom home builders, they have gotten me in with their weekly poker games, lions club, horseshoe league, all of which I am in with other builders. Gotta keep that Rolodex building! Already had the LLC, Feel free to look it up on the Texas site I knew this is what I wanted to do so I didn't waste time starting the LLC. I've started a few other LLCs before so its not hard or expensive. I just finished my first set of online training and am heading off to the in person training in about 3 weeks. Just bought my plane tickets today. Wedding was two weeks ago! Went on a very nice honeymoon. Was amazing, highly recommend it. Also yes, My friends in the industry are HVAC companies who have a very small HA division, they dont pressure it and have offered to kick me some business if I help them the same. My Engineer wife works for an electric co-op which means she provides power to rural areas.That being said, yes we live in a town with not a single C4 dealer other than me. The closest dealer is roughly 30 miles away but that is a major metropolis so those guys are busy enough there to not need to come this far out. I thought I heard in the voicemail that the coupon code expired, sucks i was on my honeymoon and didn't even realize it would expire. Oh well! Edit: Oh just re-read your message, you were saying that sarcastically. After more research it was actually a coupon for SnapAV that i was thinking about. They give you 50% off your first purchase. I hope this cleared some things up for you! I promise im not trying to pull a fast one or start any beef. I am just excited to start doing something im truly passionate about.

Have a great weekend!

Feel free to PM me if you have any question or would like further clarifications.
