The only slowdown in construction is because of the winter weather. That should help deplete the inventory even more.
Actually, I am ready for a little break. Been working pretty much 6 days a week since summer because of the demand.

In southern OR, the builders have been idling for more than the winter months.

I'll say this......if the bubble burst gets rid of the incompetent, mangling, brain-dead idiots who comprise a small, but significant, portion of the construction workforce I'll be willing to deal with any slowdown.

Some of the "workmanship" I've seen the past few years is pathetic and borders on criminally negligent.
