I am also facing shutting down my LLC.The 2nd contractor called me later and told me she was suing her manager because of the shoddy work and paying people under the table, so now I have to show up for a court date to testify.

I say he takes this opportunity to learn how to be more creative and collaborate with others rather than just work harder himself as the solution.By the way, "Jessica," are you the same guy who keeps creating bogus profiles and commenting on everyones posts until they shut you down?  

I mentioned paying for the window I knew her daughter broke, that shut him right up.

@Daniel Suarez  There's a very real danger of electrocution in that water, so be sure that the power to the house is shut off before you go diving in.  

He said a cabinet shop that employs 200 of the 1,200 residents in Cottonwood is shutting down, so that is probably an area to avoid.I agree with @Dick Rosen. 

If you are good with people, focus on getting into a restaurant, possibly work for a local pizza delivery and stow away AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE (Go read Set for Life).

I know you can typically do it still in unincorporated county areas across the state but at least up North it is basically shut down.I would love to open one in West or South Fort Worth where there is open land and economic levels aren't high.

They're basically shutting down after this season, and we heard they wanted to list.

I'm not entirely sure the product continues to be developed given their asset tracking still says "coming in 2017" but the site continues to operate so I'm going to reach out to the company to see where things are at and whether there's legitimate concern over the product shutting down. 

I asked the typical questions (is it staying cold, shutting off, leaking, etc.).
