Well God certainly is working in mysterious ways. Prayers are being answered, in God's way. Something wonderful happened at the beginning of this year. No it doesn't have to do with work, or jobs, or money. I can't explain exactly right now. If things are going the way I think they will go, my life will be transformed for the better! I am praying it will!!!!!!!! :hf: [/quote] :hf: [/quote] Count me in for praying. :pry3: [/quote]

Okay, the economy crashed in 2008. Why hasn't the economy improved any since then? I don't get this, they say there has been improvement, and even improvement in new home construction like 4%. WHERE???? Not in my county! (southern PA)
In more than 25 years of a successful construction business, for the first time we have absolutely NO work. Husband had to sell off machinery, so we can pay next month's mortgage. Of course, when you have your OWN small business, you do not get help from the gov. You cannot even get unemployment!
We would have had one remodel repair insurance job, but the home owners changed their mind and pocketed the money from the insurance company. You would think after our last big commercial project in 2011 which turned out gorgeous we would be getting loads of work. Not! Google the Lodges at Gettysburg and you can see the beautiful cabins and ballroom that we designed and built. But that has generated no future projects. Just 6 years ago we were so busy we were turning down work!!!
I don't know what is going to happen come February if we can't find work. We have mortgage to pay and food to put on the table. What do we do????
