@HoodTimeWelding not sure what climate you are in but where I am we have to think about water freezing in railings, posts, etc. I know just capping has its downfalls without drilling a drain hole in the bottom plate into the tube cavity as well. I do both. I created many cut files for my tube caps square and round. So cutting them out is super quick. Even if I have to create a new cap that I don't have it takes a few seconds anyway.

@@jeffcarr923 I've been open for 2 years just over 1 year as a LLC. It's taken a while and a lot of word of mouth. I'm also post everything on my Facebook page and cross posting to 8-9 local pages. The town I live in is about 7500 people. There aren't any small shops like mine. Everyone else in the area only wants to do bigger jobs. I'll do anything even 15 minute jobs. Sometimes this leads to bigger ones. Lastly, I'm very cheap but I have slowly been raising my rates as my reputation has grown.

@@jeffcarr923 when I went legit and got my LLC I used Zen business so I knew everything is filed properly. I didn't want to miss anything. Then for local I called city hall and got help figuring out who I had to call. For PA it's Berkheimer who collects local tax. You'll have to find out for the state you live in. Zen business is a little pricey but they file your LLC with the state and federal and you get your tax ID number. I only used it to set things up and no longer use them. There are other ways to do it yourself this was just what was easiest for me. Any more questions let me know. I'll try to help.
