What Would You Charge For....j/k
Hello ALL!
I have been reading this forum for the past month and must say it is quite a place of knowledge and some good laughs!  A little about me and my company...I have been in construction for about 15 years, started at the bottom as a landscaper, got into carpentry early on and worked my way up into construction management. After the housing market crashed I've been out on my own as a carpenter keeping rather busy. Recently a long time friend and business owner and I teamed up to start our company insulation systems NORTH. Being up in the cold counrty we saw a large demand for improving the energy efficency of the homes and buildings up there and with the crazy heating costs we figured that now was the time to get into the insulation business. Thanks, Bryan |

Thanks guys! Yeah the tax credits are a big selling point, it's amazing what people don't know is out there for free money.

Are these federal or state refunds? CT has some state grants for the Voltec solar panels but they are more of a "feel good " measure as opposed to something that people will see big savings on, I believe. Welcome BTW. Brian

Nothing is Free. Stimulus = $Loan (bailout) to companies... & to be paid back to Uncle Sam in later future.
