You can run into ethical issues. Also, if you directly cut him out of the profits, he can sue you for cutting into his job. Especially since you know that he has a relationship with this client and he's the one who introduced you to him. On top of this, if he has a contact with the client, he can definitely sue you since you are aware that he has dealings with the client. Be very careful with this. You may want to stay on good trerms with your boss, because if you screw him over, you can be black-balled.

Depends how your current contractor feels about it. If the work isn't the same for example... doing drywall for one and landscaping for another and it doesn't take time away from your current job, I don't see why it should be a problem. The best thing would be to just ask your general contractor how he feels about it, remind him that you do enjoy working with him but you want the extra work and or experience. Overall, you have to just do whatever makes you happy. Life is too short not to. Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff!

You could talk to your boss, but your family and you are number 1 think $ and long term. I did that same thing and have been in business for my self for 6 years now and my family is happy er than ever. If your boss does not approve than did he have you best interest at heart?

No. It is unethical. If you get caught, you will be a former employee.
