Introducing myself, I've been a "lurker" for a year or so. Updated my profile as much as I can, not having posted over 5.

As you can see, I live in Legoland aka Winter Haven, FL. I've been following this forum for close to two years, and I've learned a lot from all of you vets.

Planning on starting my own CC'ing biz. I'm on a small budget... at this point getting my business plan, license, taxing info together. Thinking of starting out with a 175, not being able to afford a used OP machine. Educating myself on LM CC'ing at this point and trying to get a handle on quality-over-quantity, which seems to be the benefit of the forum here.

Never knew about this type of cleaning, but thanks to Jim England, while searching for small biz ideas, I love this idea, as it relates to CC'ing. Always enjoyed feeling good about a good cleaning job, AND THEY PAY YOU? Awesome!

Many thanks to the vets on this forum and I hope to be able, some day, to contribute. ChrisSalter is in my area, but I have no illusions of stepping on his toes. Maybe he'll let me shadow him, getting an idea of the biz and hopefully can make it worth his while.

Thanks Mike, I knew that you were the "head cheese" on the forum. I appreciate your work on keeping such up such a class act site. Honestly, I don't think I could've comtemplated such an endeavor without such a great reference as the site is.

@CarpetCleaningBellingham Thanks, I know, it's kinda weird, however, I get how you guys are "sensitive" to the business you've fought to make work. But having an absolute wealth of info available to me is a big plus to a noob. I really hope to be able to contribute to others someday and thank you.
