It’s funny. I was recently talking to a friend of mine, who is a General Contractor, about the price that people were charging to come and do minor remodeling work.

He said, ‘wait a few months and people will be begging for work. Everything is drying up’.

Not a week later and over a thousand homes burn down opening up work for contractors everywhere.

I’m not a conspiracy nut but it sure seems to be ‘good timing’ for keeping these people employed as the housing market and the affiliated work was becoming a memory.
