Where is everyone?

This place has gone deader than a mosoleum!

I check in regular like.  Just lately, I've been busier than a cat covering shit on a concrete sidewalk.

Been working my ass off.    Just spent 80k on a used cnc router, been putting that too work.  Building my new home, when I can find a few hours.  Then there is the government contract( that I bought the cnc for)   which is great $$$$, but the paper work is a full time job.   I need to higher 7 people like last month, can't find any one that wants too work and can pass a background/drug test.  I kid you not all of the skilled labor I have I imported from ca.  Its like no one understands that time is money here.   I qm sorry, but a crew of 4needs to be able to frame a 1400 sq home in 3 days max.  The guys up here it was tqking 2 weeks.  Hell me and my formen did it in 2 days and all we had was 1 labor punking wood for us.    I have 19 homes too build. All of them are the same floor plan(some are reversed).  Only reason I am here now is I am waiting on home depot too load my drywall onto my trailer.  Guess who is hanging that this weekend?  Yep, should have been already tapped, but so far behind in just farming its not even funny. 

Any skilled tradesmen want too come up here and work, shoot me a pm.   $35/hour+    this will be the last track I build for awhile, the lack of skilled labor is a real issue.

Social media has hit us hard.  Can't even get M'ette to chime in.  Sad.

I'm here at least once or twice a day except when I'm out of town, which is mostly holiday weekends when I ride my ATV. In the parts of the forum that I read I don't think there were any posts at all for 2 days or maybe 3. I know a lot of people are on face***k and don't come here anymore, and some people are just too busy working. This place has always been more of a community than many other sites but it seems to be dying off. Tell the last one to leave to turn the lights off. Now someone please do something to get sent to the corner. It will help liven things up.   ;)

PS: After taking another look it seems like no one has been on here (in the sections I read) for 5 days. That's just sad.

We sold off our company's assets and we're in transition helping the new owners.  Whilst doing that I'm trying to catch up on 5 years of neglect at the house and trying to find a new vocation that is not as brutal as the oilfield.  However, I'm off to Dallas next week to setup the new oilfield company with my partners as a primary gig. 

Doing the groundwork to build a storage building business and RV storage business.  I can't believe the margins on that....they pay for themselves in 3-4 years.  Sounds like retirement to me. 

So...Tab, I'll soon be pouring concrete and putting together metal buildings.  If you have built storage units to you have a favorite metal supplier?  I'm building these for myself and I want them to last without having to spend a lot of maintenance $$$$'s in the future.

This Rabbit stops by on a nearly daily basis.  Don't always comment except when I have something to say.
