I'm typically always busy. Each month since March my volume has slowed. Others in this area have been laying off. The only shops that I know of that are still going full blast are the large shops that have large jobs that were sold for installation this year. So they are living off a backlog of work with not too many new jobs coming in.

Must be nice...How long would it take me to commute from the Ambassador Bridge to Howell everyday.. only about a 1/2 hour I bet. Heck I would use my own vehicle to do the service calls in...I am getting out the razor blades and scraping the lettering off of it right now...lol

Swamped? No. It's been steady, and I think it will pick up.
We do commercial, and for a few months we had a slight reduction compared to last year as retail retracted into a profit and loss hole. For example, we have one store with two units, 15 year old Carrier RTU's. Last year, one was taken out of heating service due to corrosion of the HX and related parts. Yesterday, I found the other unit can no longer be producing heat for the same reason. Now, at least one will have to be repaired.
Other stores that have been putting off repairs will be stepping up soon, as the numbers released today bode for a better quarter or two than the bloodbath that had been expected.

Yup, Just the other side of the bridge..
Routinely head over and spend my hard earned $$ downriver shopping in Taylor, Southgate or Woodhaven.....either that or head North and hit Madison Heights, Troy or Sterling Heights....Andiamo's is the best.
We sometimes get adventurous and take the extra 1/2 hour or so and head all the way to GLC in Auburn Hills, but if you go that far u might as well keep going and hit Birch Run too....
Gawd, can you tell my wife shops to death!!!lol

You kidding me? I was gonna move back to Mechanicsburg so I could get a cheese steak every week!
Professional Member
Just had one today! I'll take work over a cheese steak any day. Guess I'm spoiled though. My brother-in-law is in Reno, he's been hankering for one too. Anyway I'm getting fair amount of bids out just not much coming back.

1 day off in the last 90, turning down work because of schedule conflicts and the future looks worse. Alot of government initiated commercial projects going on right now. People with real money(cash not equity) are helping by building or remodeling.
