Well...here we are. May 7 2014 I filed articles of incorporation here in The Hoosier State to be a legitimate business. I started L&N Welding LLC with a used Miller Trailblazer 302 100 feet of leads and my daily driver, a 2006 F150. I made $18,000.00 my first year if memory serves me correctly. It's been an uphill battle every day but we steadily have grown into an 8000 sq ft shop, several trucks, a committed and knowledgeable crew working both in the shop and the field and a reputation built on blood, sweat and good old fashioned hardwork. I've made mistakes in business but I only make them once. So ladies and gentlemen here's to the official 12 year anniversary of my little dream oh so many years ago. And here's to all of you who have followed along, made recommendations, shared posts and even pitched in on some jobs as firewatch a few times. I honestly don't know how to thank you other than to keep doing what myself and my crew are already doing.
Thank you all for allowing me to still be standing 12 years later. Let's see what the next 12 years has in store for this junkyard welder.
