I self employed when layed off from the oldest Tile company in the detroit area. We did big work...Tiger's new Comerica Park, renovations to GM's world headquarters, many more big ones. The past year there has not been too many big jobs so we all go out on our own untill "the Next big one" hits. Which coincidentally is coming up in January. We go back for a year+ on Beaumont Hospital's addition.

When on my own, I do total interior renovation or interiors in new construction. Rough framing, to finish...electrical, plumbing(above or below ground), pergos to wood/ceramic, marble and granite, to the home owners choice of berber(sp?) carpet. I got into everything years ago, because I grew tired of waiting for other trades scheduals. Now, I wait on money!

Layoffs suck! Well, sometimes - I have friends in the trades that enjoy them for short periods of time. Where I work, there aren't layoffs. I'm not quite sure if that's bad or good yet, but I've been at it for 20-some years and have survived (though I've changed jobs and positions a few times).

Well, I'm glad to see that you are enterprising. I was worried that you were ripping folks off, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Frankly, as I put up drywall and all in my basement, I sometimes wonder why I didn't pay someone else to do this. Well, at least I will have some experience to fall back on if I need to some day.
