Today we close our doors after thirty years of business. The economic downturn has finished us off. We currently have no business booked for next year and have no quotes out. So myself and what is left of the crew head to unemployment. This has been a sad year it seems like each month since our man Obama was sworn in I saw a little more of my business fall off. The Man has done a disservice to Small Business Well enough about him and the Leftist movement in our Country This is not a fun time I was not ever prepared to close my doors and walk away with nothing, I mean this business was my retirement plan and at age 57 time is not on my side when it comes to putting together a new plan for retirement. Stop crying and move on. I must say that I will miss building things but oh well. Not sure what we are going to do with the blog , we have a lot of readers and maybe we will do a cabinet and furniture resource center . Who knows . Look for my giant machinery and supply sale in December. Thanks for your support for all these years. and don’t forget to check out elect a conservative. As usual your comments are needed and appreciated.

That picture is awsome, as for retirement im in my late 20’s and i would put money on my generation having to work until death. Sad really, so many people have been screwed out of pensions too.

It is all a matter of perception. I am resilient enough to take care of myself and family, but there are many out there that are not so lucky.
