Thanks guys. Sorry, I did not know there was a separate HydroCAD forum. That is exactly how I started the routing. Low point in the street was the pond, using a culvert as my outlet pipe and the berm as a weir. It was topping the weir very easily which when looking at the site with some common...

I have a site that has a large drainage line passing through it. The line conveys stormwater runoff from a large residential site upstream of me (roughly 250 acres). Running a quick calc, the pipe is undersized. What I need to prepare is an analysis demonstrating that the low point of the...

Sorry I have not been back to update, things have been a little nuts lately. Well, all of us sat down and had a nice little chat, basically talking about everything and anything that we see an issues between ourselves and the others that work for the company. A few of us expressed our concerns...

Well, I got a couple of details from the owner the other day. The way he would like to see us start is to purchase into the company (using our own $$$) to purchase roughly 20 shares of stock. That would allow all 5 of us to have equal shares. Over the course of the next few years, we will...

Thanks DRC1, everything you listed makes sense. I am starting to see a couple of the others feeling the same way, great opportunity, bad timing and 1 or 2 of the wrong people are involved.

Thanks BRGENG, it is always nice to hear successful stories of people making it on there own.

Thank you all, I really appreciate your advice. I am hoping to get those other details explained to me within the next couple of weeks. I have already spoken to another manager and he suggested we speak to the current owner and lay it all out on the table. Boy, things are going to get...

Another vote against LOL Thanks ajack, I appreciate the advice. It is getting pretty clear for me that the feeling I first got is what I should stick with, meaning I think I would be crazy to get myself into this with a person like him and would end up kicking myself in the ass for not going...

Not another wife, 1 is enough for me :) Just kidding Not sure as of yet, those details are to be explained to us hopefully within the next month or so.

Great point. My thinking is that the owner will just end up selling the company to another, larger firm if we decide not to act on it. In my mind that would be a quick and easy move on his part since business is still great for us now.

The current owner is planning on retiring, so it would be left up to the rest of us to take over.

You hit the nail on the head. Everytime I try to think of a positive that would come out of this, I can't stop thinking of how lazy he is and that a person like that will never change. If anything once he gains some ownership I can see it getting even worse.

Thank you Dan. The partnership is being offered to us by the current owner, so that 1 particular manager is being included not by the others, but by the current owner. A couple of the other managers feel the same way, so I guess it could get a little ugly when it comes down to discussing it in...

I currently work for a small engineering firm (35-40 people) and have been here for about 12 years. I am 41 years old and love what I do. A business opportunity has been proposed to myself and 4 other managers in the firm to obtain ownership of the company. Details on how this would be done...

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

Thanks. You guys have directed me in the right direction, just need to do a little more reading on the links posted above, but for the most part I got the idea now. We are going down there in a month, I am really looking forward to it.

Guys, I want to thank you again for your help. I checked out the links you posted and it was very helpful. I plan on stopping at each of the 2 counties mentioned for each state. What I did notice on the plans submitted for the Kent County applications were that the plans were mostly just...

I appreciate the information. Yeah, we are finally getting this trip moving forward. We have thought of moving south of here for some time, mostly due to the increased density throughout NJ, along with the increased traffic, property taxes, etc. It is not only work related. Before I make a...

That is perfect, thanks for the heads up. I will look for similar sites for MD and DE. Thanks again for the help guys.

Great, thanks for the help. We plan on seeing Williamsburg, along with Richmond and a few towns west of Richmond. While we are down there we planned on looking at some real estate, but my main goal was to get a feel of the land development process in each of the states I mentioned.
