Never did hear back from Job Corps. I've tried in the past to contact them with the same results. May just swing in next week and see if I can talk to someone.

Love it here. Pops moved us here my sophomore year. 1990. It's grown a ton. Definitely raising my rates. And yes. I keep the white boys busy. Only non English speaking hire I've had was polish. Hard ass worker. I just couldn't communicate with him very well. Cuss words was all he spoke well. He...

Good buddy is a framer. He's in the same boat as me. It's wearing him out.

For sure. But I feel that if a painter wants to make that they better own their own business.

This is a problem for sure. The older guys I've worked with moved their way up to $30. Now I've got to hire some dude that calls himself a painter but can't even run an airless $30. I'm finding it hard to do. I've been crazy busy my entire career. Never once advertised. Booked out for a year...
