Way to go Dan!!!

Always glad to see someone else make it into business.  I myself am such a
poor, sympathetic salesman that I can't sell anything.  Best of luck and do
it right.

> Hey All,
>        Celebrate with me!!! Guess what?  I just got my first contract! Not
a sale at a craft fair or a reenactment. An Architect saw my web site and
asked me to submit a bid for 9 porch lights with an Arts and Crafts style.
Real simple design (about 4 hours a lamp).  They liked the demo and they
accepted my bid.  The architect said that if I deliver on time there should
be more orders later.
>        After a bunch of false starts on other possible jobs and even
having some people "promising" big orders and then losing my number, I got a
real contract.  I am getting the down payment this week.
>
> (I'll actaully celebrate when I have the check in my hand....no I think
I'll celebrate when I have it cashed :)
>
> If this works out I won't need to get another summer job again! (I am a
teacher)  I can smith my way through the summer from now on!!!!
>
> Wish me luck!
