that's to funny on the hammer thing....

WOW Tim one post and you're already a member. Good luck.

It was resolved, I paid the fine, got a general contractors license so I can do it all and they have to have a good reason to fine me now. Not a BS one and I don't plan on giving them one at all.

I have been lurking around several sites. 

I believe that when I eventally become certified it will add credibility to my new business.

I also appreciate the knowledge that is concentrated on this site.

Tim, no not six grand I ended up paying about 3 grand for the whole thing. I got a general so I could do patch jobs, replace a board etc, I have no plans on doing anything larger than that. I Washington there isn't really a specialty license for what we do, there is a pressure washing license, but no soft wash license. The gentleman that fined me told me he just wants me to have a license, I told him I had a state business license and insurance, he said nope that doesn't work for him. Now the specialty license and the general are only a few hundred dollars difference, its all about the bonding and insurance, explain your not working on the roof just cleaning it. The good thing is if I do want to do a larger construction related project I can just call and up my bond and insurance. good luck and if you ever want to chat you no where to find me. Oh and I financed 1500 of that through the insurance company.
