Things have been hard here. Large co's are taking work they usually don't want. Illegals and handymen are out there, as always, robbing work. Can't do a job cheap enough for anyone. After expenses for truck and phone, etc. I paid myself $100 last year. About $50 in 2008. I've been 10 minutes away from shutting down at any given time. I've had a few good months, but very few. We've lived on my wife's salary and our savings, what we had. I've had a little good work lately, hopefully things are turning around.
