Back in the 70's we had contractors taking jobs in plants, working at anything they could find, the work just dried up, and the few that were working, were at reduced hours.

I remenber well because, I went to an auction almost every week, back then.


I remember that well, also.

Although I was not a Contractor at the time - actually I was still in School, but my Father is an EC whom I had been working with since birth
(joking - almost seems that long back then... more on this later)

During that time period of recession, he was taking anything that was available to bid on, and fortunately won some Contracts.
Through this period, a few good GCs gave him leads, which kept us from living in Cardboard boxes.

Eventually, things began to brighten up, and the Banks (long time Clients) started to do things again, which brought in lots of work again.

Then 1990 came around, with another recession and drammatic drop in Construction & Developement.
