Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum and back to the mtn lands.

I'm from Central PA myself. I love living in the mtns. Have you given any consideration to snagging a job in a modular housing plant? There are quite a few of them around this area, and they are always looking for experienced finishers. I'm not saying it'll be your dream job, but it would be a job until you make connections with some builders, contractors, etc. Just a thought.
