whats bad is I thought the guy was going to come up and ask where the formen was.   Most of my employees are older then I am... I also look very young.   Lots of guys out of work in this area... i'm getting about 2 calls a day people asking for a job.  I just don't have the work.  I barly have enough to keep my current employees at 40 hours aweek.

Used to be. Lots of new construction since Ike. Overspecialization is the prelude to extinction.

Try the EAST coast, Down in Portsmouth and the Seacoast area we got them all the way back to the 1600's.
Hope any European members are not laughing TOO hard.

I didn't say I could not do it, I hate new construction... There really is no money in tracks... not like it use to be.  The only real money in new constuction is in custom homes.  Every one I know that was big into custom homes is hurting really bad right now.

Also I could work every day  from now until retirement, in a 10 square block area in my town.

Besides, there will always be homes that need painting.

Hey Tab,
I know what you mean...I used to be a restoration contractor and worked about 5 minutes from home for the better part of 18 years. Almost all were old houses, and we've got the historic stuff going on so you can't cover them in vinyl. A painter's dream. That's why there are so many around here.

Kind of off topic but your right about the Europeans... I was in England in the 1980's and I was walking one Sunday with my host - we crossed a stone bridge and on the key stone was 1443
I stopped and just shook my head, Reg asked me what was wrong - I said nothing, other than this bridge was 300 years older than my country....

It just kind of put me back to think of the age of the bridge and what it may have "seen" in 537 years......
