I am talking to one competitor yesterday, he is upset he has no work to do and wants to apply for my job opening, seriously.

So we get to talking and I say I am working as far as 60-70 miles away for smaller jobs and 200 miles away for bigger ones.

His response was I hope your getting paid really well, and I informed him, no I am being paid average pay, just less profit than normal. He says he would never do that, drive far to work. My response was a little profit is better than no income at all. I dont get it, why turn away work when you have none?

Thanks for the well wishes Steve, it has been very stressful but it has made a turn for the better and I am glad. I am happy I could hang on to most of my good staff through all of this.

Sewell - I missed your last sentance when I first read your post, I hope your o.k. and or recovered by now.
