I've been on my own as a trim carpenter for about a year now, and the work has dried up somewhat. The odd built-in or trim job has kept us afloat, but I've been getting discouraged. An acquaitance of my invested in magnetic signs, and T-shirts, and they seem like a good idea. There's also an online service that matches customers to contractors for a flat rate fee(they send the info to more than one in the area, and you have to bid on it). I guess I'm looking for encouragement and ideas.
