In 2007 or so, though, I got a nightstand from Freecycle, and I decided to try painting it. pick something that doesn’t need a bunch of repairs.

Our first storm: 2007. The year 2007 held such promise for us when it started, but by the end of the year, we were brought to our knees. As self-employed small business owners, we have lived through some tough months, but in 2007, it was a tough year. For a variety of reasons, our business slowed down in 2007.

The total cost for the new tires and the dryer repair was $900. As self-employed owners of a small business, we have lived through some challenging months, but the year 2007 was especially tough for us. We would not have survived with just $1000 starter fund back in 2007. Oh, and it happened all in one week.

Even though Alan was an IT professional by trade, his logical mind also understands what makes all kinds of mechanical things work, and he can repair just about everything I break. I can’t even imagine how many repair bills from plumbers, electricians, appliance techs, and auto mechanics he has saved us over the years.
