Amen Brother!
My Dad was in construction all his life and is disgusted when he sees how people get treated! He started as a carpenter and worked into the role of Commercial Superintendent. He always did small contracting on the side and never advertised. He had to turn away as much work as he did. He has been retired for 8 years and hasn't done side work in 10, but still gets calls. It's all about being polite, responsive and doing a good job for a fair price! My buddy right now wants to build a garage and just like you Wayne, he sent out requests for bid to 3 companies 3 weeks ago. He has received 1 call and no visits. I have seriously considered starting my own contracting business. When times are a bit better, you never know!
Seriously Wayne, I hope you get it worked out. This has been a tough road. Between building a car and doing this, I don't know how you stay out of the funny farm.
