And the time spent getting your business leagally licensed and insured to much of a hassle.

Nailer Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 $1,300/5= $260 per year. At $$260 a year the cost isn't much. I know a guide that couldn't pass the exam any more. The reality is, he shouldn't be guiding in his condition.It's for the safety of the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
