Been quite busy since the start of the year, but not much that had any real lead time to it, always rush. Not nearly as much $ in any of it as it used to be though, but that's been so for 4yrs.
But right now, I got 1 day of work to do. There'll be more next week I'm sure. Quite happy that I'll finally have 1 weekend I can spend in the shop working on my own stuff.
Though I didn't pay much attention I did see a few hints that the stock market been going up wildly the past week or 2... sounds familiar... don't know what they'll blame the next crash on eh. Yesterday it was said the government's new budget coming next week here has lots of cuts, some with a B, for a bunch of guys that had been overly optimistic and playing it down since 08, they seemed to be saying things ain't looking so fantastic for some time to come.
So, I was gonna start a new detached shop in a month or 2 that would cost about 50-60K, but decided to put that on hold again. Gonna make some room from inside instead, which is part of this weekends project.
I feel there's more uncertainty now, than in 2008. A few friends in construction have seen that last year was down a lot and this year ain't looking so great yet. The housing thing didn't hit Canada as fast as the US, but with changes to the mortgages and stuff its getting real bad here now. Neighbor on one side went from 495K down to 399 and it still ain't selling, and empty lot on the other side that they bought for 83K 3 yrs ago and tried to pass off at 125 the last 2, is down to 89 and trying to get rid of it and no takers either... this stuff used to sell in days/weeks.
It'll get interesting soon enough.
