work is still pretty steady here in ohio. the new construction is beginning to slow somewhat, but there is still a lot of res./com. additions and repair work going on. also, since we also do motor controls and process wiring for various industries in the area, we are getting geared up for their annual thanksgiving and Christmas shutdown work, where its around the clock for 7 to 14 days, for as many people as i can find. then, it generally slows for a couple of months in january and february. a lot of my guys volunteer to take a short "layoff" during that time, to recuperate from the shutdown "craziness". the rest of us do a lot of equipment maintenance, and service truck maintenance, in our shop here, to try to get ready for a busy spring construction startup. you gotta do what you can, when you can, ya know........
