Busy Delays
Okay, so it’s been a month since I’ve posted. I’m tardy, and I know it. My apologies.
My problem is, I’m currently involved in a project that I don’t have permission to tell you about yet! So I’m compelled to “zip my lip” until such time as I have permission to tell you all about it.
As I’m writing this, “A” (my wife and the inspiration behind this blog) is off collecting a Nikon (yes a Nikon!) digital camera for us. Given the projects on my plate this year (and more are coming up to be bid on), I’m sure the camera will come in handy in keeping you informed on what’s happening here at Alternative Building Services.
On a more general note: Last week I learned that West Coast Builders, one of our larger local builders — they won the environmental award for the Co-Op project, remember? — has laid off 40+ employees! Also, apparently Danco Builders has laid of 60+. And senior employees at some our building suppliers have told me smaller contractors (like me) are getting worried. They’re finishing up their last jobs and have no more work scheduled. The Sub-prime mess is beginning to hit Humboldt County hard. And it doesn’t look like their’s any relief in site!
Anyway, hopefully this next week things will ‘pop’ with this project I’m working on and I’ll be able to post about it — complete with pictures!
