How did you start? Are you a carpenter or construction man?
My Daddy taught me, from small i would watch/help him. All his brothers know how to do construction too.

I know how to do carpentry & pretty much everything elsel. I used to take on projects remodeling homes and office spaces in NY.

Ive done drywall, painting, and framing from 17-20, and im considering going the electrician route cause i cant seem to make it big in the civilized job market :to:
I dont miss busting my ass outdoors but i do miss the money and relaxed work environment.

1 foot in 1 foot out. I mostly just look out for family & friends. My cousin wanna move out here and flip houses so I might be back on it heavy.
I was just trying to find you in my phone contacts. I must not have saved you. Can you text your boy (or email).

I own: www.hallmarkrenovations.com and a few other businesses out here in Columbus. However we looking to link up with other builders across country to push product for my other line. I didn't know you yourself was involved. Good to know. We need the social media help which was what led to this posting. How to compete with Lumber Liquidators and all those companies.
