Re: Hello From China


I guess there are contractors in China, but I have never heard of a trade called "no".

Re: Hello From China


I thought it was just an introduction thread. You can easily be curious based on a two line intro that does not sell or propose anything (cell phones, etc.) but there was not link and that garbage. You can just as easily be wrong. There are people in China that are contractors or work for construction companies, just as in the U.S.

You should be happy he used his best english instead of spanish. His english example is better english that some other posters and contributors.

If he ends up selling (or trying to sell), all you have to do is say no.

FYI, I communicate with a few Chinese on a regular basis. The way things are going they'll own us soon.

Re: Hello From China


Hey I always wonder how they build things over there? Do you build like we do here? Do you have suppliers like us?

Do you wood frame or concrete block. We buy alot of aluminum from china they have the best paint system going.

I have heard they are moving into the window market big time.

Give some news we can use! Welcome aboard.
