Deck building competition Toronto GTA

Is there any competition going on, I know Hamilton and southern Ontario got them going on from local lumber yards
Or better yet is there a competition going on for guys that are 18-26 with less than a year experience

I'm not sure what kind of competition you're looking for but I do know that a few chain stores that had ones earlier this year but they were for homeowners only - professionals weren't permitted to participate in them.

You're an 18-26 year old General Contractor - very impressive

Me? A Moderator????? Yeah! I can just see that!!!!!


Just do not see the point in an Internet Pissing Contest! Live and in person?.....Sure. That is real competition. But 1000's of miles away about BS? What a waste of time.
