It seem the local economy has picked back up, everyone i've talked to lately is busy, everyone from cabinet guys, carpet guys, or repair shops. Is about time, everyone seemd like they were gonna be starving soon. To bad i'm wheelchair bound, this is usually my busy season

Not exactly true, I ran an add in the paper for help, I really didn't want to for the following predictable reason. I got a couple of phone calls from local competitors/ sort of friends sort of pissed that I am busy enough to hire when they are laying off like crazy and trying to figure out how to stay open.
I revived this thread because I just expanded my service to 2 more counties using a sub contractor, on top of that I just hooked up with this companies commercial division and thay think we are the cats meow and are ordering jobs all over the state. We are off to Ft. Meyers next week for 3 more commecial sites on top of the 3 commercial ones we have to do locally, and I am starting to spread my staff thin, something I have not seen in close to 3 years.
Meanwhile my local competition is sitting on their butts crying that there is no work. The applicants that came in for the job opening all had very sad stories to tell. It was depressing hearing them all.
