My advantages ran out in the first two months I was off. I gotta get back to it, Im dyin'.
I was laid off in January and my area is bad, theres NOTHING going on here :confused:. Ive never seen it like this before in my 10+ years in the trade. Ive been talking to a local contractor for a few weeks now and its looking like maybe next week I'll be back on the job.
Cant wait, need the money...

BTW- Mag case looks pretty good. ;)

I've been lucky, laid off since only the end of April. Not much work in my area as well. I haven't done any woodworking projects... built my first lower though. Don't want to dip into my savings/remod funds, to get the LaRue rail I need to finish the upper....unemployment checks don't come quick enough:rolleyes:
Feast or Famine as it always has been in construction, just glad my property/house and vehicles are paid off.

You just have not been around construction long enough .

I experienced the oil / construction boom , when the bubble burst in the early 1980's . You could not buy a job ( do it for cost or less ) .

I kept saying it would happen again , sooner or latter . Unfortunately , I was correct . :-(

A VERY good reason to put some / all of those over time / boom $$$ in savings . And not to rack up debt .


Things were SLOW after 9-11 , also . And several other times .

Hope you find work .

God bless

Being an ISTJ, it's my duty to inform you, sir, that your mags are out of order. :D

What did you use for the plastic dividers?

Will Pmags/Lancers/Arc mags fit?
