Ah, Boulder, CO - my old school. Beautiful area, with a lot of rich
bastards. I'm not a deck builder, but I started getting a magazine recently
called "Professional Deck Builder" They apparently have expos, seminars,
etc. I'm not shilling for them, but I would really recommend becoming
affiliated with a professional organization. Besides the credibility it
gives your business - it's nice to learn from others in the trade instead of
learning every lesson the hard way, alone in the wilderness.
Good luck.
