Howdy

just dropped by to say hey. been lurkin here for some time now, and thought it was time to start asking some questions. i've been a bricklayer for the past 20yrs, working in hi-rise restoration in chicago, and like many of the trades, things have not been good for some time now. a few of my partners have left the trade and hit the road. they have done good so far (and seem to like it) and talked me into considering the change. my girlfriend became interested also, and yep, were're pondering teaming with each other somewhere down the line. we talked to a few recruiters so far, been promised the world already LOL...so there ya have it in a nuttshell. lots of questions, many of them have been answered while lurking here.
hope to talk to some of you soon.
thanks!
