Pro Question
Are you guys that work on homes and fix them up, remodel them or just focus
in on one trade busy?? I can not believe how busy I am. I wasn't this busy during the height of the housing boom. I'm not bitching but just a little miffed by it.

I'm not bitching but just a little miffed by it. What say you? Same here. All the people who can't afford to buy a new house seem to be fixing up the one they have instead. When I started my business, I intended to work a couple of days a week and spend the rest of the time working for Habitat for Humanity. I'm getting too much business to work my plan--and it's all by word-of-mouth. I'll just have to start telling friends I can't take more jobs, I guess. -- Steve Bell New Life Home Improvement Arlington, TX USA |

That never happened before. If its something I don't want to do I either bid it high or tell them I'm not interested. -- "You can lead them to LINUX but you can't make them THINK" Running Mandriva release 2008.0 free-i586 using KDE on i586 Website Address http://rentmyhusband.biz/ |

A contractor I work for sometimes wanted me to bid on doing all the doors and finish trim for a 63-unit apartment complex. Me, a one-man company. Even with them putting up one eight-unit building at a time, I would have been busy full-time for months. I had to decline on that one, even though it's the type of work I like best. I'll be spending a lot of time in the near future taking care of my dad's estate. -- Steve Bell New Life Home Improvement Arlington, TX USA |
