Re: Where is everyone from?


I'm in Columbia,Mo and the work is slow. Use to turn down patch jobs and small basement jobs but now we bid on them and still don't have much luck even if it's 50 miles away.
I'm going to buy a pool table and dart board for the shop so we have something to do to pass the time.

Re: Where is everyone from?


Well Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a Merry one and with Hope the New Year will bring US All work so we can get out of the debts we have
I'm in Michigan just outside of Detroit there's a lot of Cut throats out there, I bid a neighbors house two doors down, I looked at her living room cove ceiling bad water damage I figured to remove 1/4 of the ceiling and around 6' of cove and then the upper part of the wall about 4' down off the cove. also the ceiling has popcorn really bad job, I told her I would finish it smooth. well the other day I come back from a estimate and I see she hired some guys, they where taking out all the carpeting she never mentioned that she was having that done. anyways I'll have to see what these guys bid the job at, I figured the ceiling at $875.00 the room is 12'x16'x8' with a 12" cove. I would not be surprised that they are doing it for $400.00
I have seen a lot of that lately. Auto workers are now contractors
