haha nah man wasnt tryin to poke any fun at your misfortune... my dad spent the last 2 years on unemployment and has recently just started getting back into working self employed doing carpentry and general contracting gigs. Luckily he has a friend in commercial and residential painting otherwise he was about to sell his garage full of tools. Easily probably over 25,000 dollars worth of tool purchases over the last 30 years. Ive seen first hand how people in your field have been affected. Its tough. Good luck to you man, hope you find something so you dont have to get rid of all your gear.

T-Bone,

I know you've heard this a million times but... Usually these things work out okay, but I understand that its tough when it's happening. Been there myself recently. What kind of work to you do? Maybe somebody here could give you a lead...

In the meantime, hope you can take advantage of the time to do some fishing.

Quick story with the last door.

The original set of arched doors was a 60" opening with a pair of 30" doors.This is not an ADA compliant opening.The new door is 36" with 12" sidelights and a rixon floorcloser.What made this so difficult to install is that the original jamb stayed and the new door was scribed into the old opening.This is at the Village haus in fantasyland.This is a $22K door.All handmade and aged by flame and scrape.That was in Dec 2010.

Cool. Next time I'm up there I'll need to check out your work. Could be a few years yet...
