Q: If you already own a truck or van, you may choose to use your own personal vehicle. Otherwise, buy or rent one large enough to safely accommodate any necessary materials.  If you're renting, make sure the company who owns the vehicle allows for its commercial use. If possible, decorate your vehicle with your company's name, logo, and contact information. This will work as free advertising and make your business seem more professional to clients. Each person at your company should have a basic, easily transportable set of tools. While plenty of complete tool boxes and bags are available for purchase, it may be more cost-effective to outfit custom ones on your own. These may include nails, wood, pipes, fixtures, specialty tools, and other items commonly needed for handymen to get a job done. The particulars will depend on what types of jobs your company focuses on and is hired to do.  A commercial home improvement store may be all you need early on while your business is small. As your business grows, you may save a lot of time and money by working with a professional supplier. Whichever type you pick, make sure they can have what you need on a moment's notice. Faster job completion and the ability to handle last-minute job requests will earn your company positive recommendations and repeat customers. A good way for your business to make more money is to save money when buying necessary materials. As a handyman, you will likely use large volumes of items like nails and wood. Buying these materials in bulk at per-unit prices under the single unit cost will save your business money over time.  Many popular home improvement stores offer special contractor discounts and volume pricing with costs well under retail. Other suppliers will only sell in bulk and to professionals like you, rather than dealing with the general public. Don't buy more than what you can safely and economically store. It doesn't make financial sense to save $50 on materials if you end up needing to spend $100 to store them. This is very important when filing your taxes, as most countries allow you to "deduct" business expenses like equipment from your gross income.  For example, if your business charged $500 for a job that used $100 in materials, taxes would only be due for $400.  Detailed records will help you to accurately "itemize" these deductions when filing your taxes. In the event your business is audited, having receipts and other documentation immediately available will speed the process.
A: Make sure you and your workers have reliable transportation. Assemble a complete tool kit for each of your workers. Have a reliable supplier for relevant materials. Buy your supplies in bulk. Keep detailed records of your purchases.

Q: There are two forms of vitamin D. Vitamin D2, also known as Ergocalciferol, is a plant-derived form that is added to milk, juice, and cereals. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is generally considered a better form because it is the form your body produces when it is exposed to sunlight. It is also found in animal products. Vitamin D2 is safe for vegans and vegetarians since it is plant derived. Vitamin D3 is not, however, because these supplements are derived from the fat from lamb's wool. The general recommended daily amount for vitamin D vary depending on your age, though men and women need the same amount at the same age. The daily recommended dose for each age group is:  Infants from birth to 12 months need 400 IU (10 mcg) Those who are one to 70 years old need 600 IU (15 mcg) Individuals over 70 years old need 800 IU (20 mcg) Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant need 600 IU (15 mcg) Remember that those that are deficient in Vitamin D3 are more likely to need higher doses to build levels up. Once they are consistently having good D3 blood readings, they may be able to switch to a lower maintenance dose. Although your body needs a certain amount of vitamin D each day, you should take more than that as a supplement. This is because your body will not absorb all of the vitamin D from the supplement each time you take it, so you should have a dose larger than the amount you need each day.  Most doctors currently recommend 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per day to ensure that enough vitamin D is absorbed. The Linus Pauling Institute, one of the leading research centers in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, recommends 2000 IU of Vitamin D3 a day.  If you have certain conditions that might benefit from vitamin D3, your doctor may suggest a higher dosage. Always follow your doctor's instructions when it comes to increased or decreased dosage. You can buy pure vitamin D3 supplements as well as multivitamins with vitamin D3 in them. However, these multivitamins generally have low levels, so you may be better off taking it as a separate supplement. Most supplement capsules are 1000 IU each, but some can be as low as 400 IU. Pay attention to the kind you get. Take one to three daily, depending on the dosage per capsule. It is recommended that you take your vitamin D3 with a meal. Once you have been taking vitamin D for awhile, you should have your serum levels tested. This will ensure that you have the right levels vitamin D in your system. Ask your doctor to perform this test as your yearly checkup or during your next visit. Your levels should be at least 50 nmol/L.  Your levels may still be low after taking supplements for awhile. Your doctor may increase your supplement dose to help increase your levels. He or she may also check for issues that might be blocking your absorption of vitamin D3. This testing should occur at least once a year.
A: Recognize the different types. Get the right amount. Learn the correct dosage. Take the supplement. Get your levels tested.

Q: This stands for "Print Screen," and pressing this button saves an image of your screen to your clipboard. This is similar to clicking "copy" on a picture.  The button is usually in the upper-righthand corner of your keyboard, above "Backspace." Press "Prt Sc" once to take a picture of your current screen. If you hold the "Alt" key while doing this it will take a picture of just the window you are using, such as your internet browser. So if you want a shot of only your internet browser, click into that window and press Alt & Prt Sc keys together.

Click the small purple save button (it looks like a purple floppy disc) or press CTRL and S simultaneously. You will be given a chance to name the picture and choose the image quality. Microsoft put a small tool on every windows machine that lets you take custom screenshots. In the start menu, search for "Snipping Tool" to find the program. From here, you can create a custom sized screenshot and save it directly through the Snipping Tool program:  Click "New" Click and drag over the area you want a picture of. Click "Save Snip" (square, purple floppy disc button).
