    After 24 years in the business I am thinking about doing my carpentry and rehab work all over the country . I really enjoy working on older homes but I probally have done every phase of carpentry in my career .

    I have just returned home from Minnesota last week and soon I will be working in Iowa . Both of these jobs are for V8 members ! Word of mouth and also people seeing my work has kept me working all these years .

    Some of you have been at both our old house and also the one we bought this spring for the party and were able to see a little bit of the work I do for customers and also ourselves . JW will get a piece of my profit when future work is perfomed . Many referances and pictures available .

    I really can't travel all over just for a small job as we all know but larger jobs will be considered .

    Anyone interested please PM me or email me please. The phone # to call is (262) 492 - 1955

    Thanks for considering Family Traditions Carpentry

    Hey Bruce! If your in the Long Island area come spring, you can do my 2nd floor addition and my 2 car attached garage. Its so difficult to find someone honest and reliable around here.

    Hey Bruce, I've been planning to burn this down. You think you can do something with it instead?

    That's cool Bruce. What kind of problems do you run into regarding any licensing/bonding/etc... when you do carpentry business in 48 different states?

    My parents are getting F'd in central AZ. They bought a piece of land after selling their last house. They can't build a decent (not spec piece of garbage) 2000 sf house for under $200k! In fact, to duplicate the one they sold, but in ranch style as opposed to SW/stucco style, it's more like $225k. The amazing thing is they own the plans from the last house!

    Yet if they lived in Phoenix, it would be much cheaper. Also, there are so many builders that aren't honest in that area, and from watching the duplex go up behind the one their renting right now - they're slow as hell too! Two guys in two days couldn't even put up the shingles on the back side of the roof. They got about 3/4 of it done and it's straight runs all the way with no big obtrusions like skylights!

    Bruce is being unusually quiet. Weighing his options. With several offers already on the thread already.

    If you come out to Long Island for Jason, I could keep you busy for a while with my 90+ year old house.

    Thanx for the replys guys . Jason we'll see where I'm at in the spring . I'd need a good size crew to perform the work of the addition and garage . I currently work alone and use outside labor when needed .

    Alan that would be great . I'd like to be able to work over at your place if I'm out that way . What are you looking to have done ? Pm me please .

    Mike are you sure you want to tear it down ? PM or call me we'll talk about it.

    Cole and Mike , LOL ! :laugh: I was in the pole building and the garage getting ready for last nights 28 degree weather . I went straight to bed after dinner .

    Cole , Yep Shirl likes it Quiet around here sometimes ..
