Hello From South GA! Where Is The Work?
Hello everyone, my name is Jesse and I'm a trim carpenter. I have viewed the site from time to time, and decided to join. I was wondering as well, how is work where you guys are. I run interior trim jobs as a sub and I had great success for the last six years. But, a few months ago the well seemed to be running dry, so I laid off two great carpenters that helped me trim high-end custom homes and went solo. For the last month it has been a real struggle. I love what I do, but the family's gotta eat. I have considered even moving to another town. I would appreciate you guys' thoughts.

Welcome to CT
The jobs are out there, it is just there is less of them & finding them at the moment. I would suggest looking at the threads in the Marketing & sales area's. Best of luck |
