Things are improving slowly. I think the issue now is that many of the OEM dealers are upside down in their competitive brand trades. I'd guess year end will be a buying opportunity. I've been looking into getting a line of new OEM to sell but that's a little difficult when I'm in such a small market.
It's probably a good thing I'm not too busy with my business. My son bought a house back in March and wanted to be moved in by June. That doesn't sound too bad until you realize we gutted the entire first floor due to old knob and tube wiring that needed replaced. The place had drop ceilings and paneling in every room. Behind that was old plaster. I probably shortened my life by a few years but I got it done for the most part. He still has a master bath we added that needs to be finished. Other than that he has a really nice starter home now.
On a side note, a good massage therapist is a wonderful thing! By the time I got to finishing the drywall, my hands were going numb from pressure on a nerve in both shoulders. I thought it was cubital tunnel at first. I couldn't hold my cellphone with my elbows bent for the length of a normal phone call without my hands going numb. I literally had to switch from hand to hand or just use speaker phone. OH THE FUN! One visit to a massage therapist and all was better.
