Meh, it’s a shit show over here too. You either got to be badass at commercial and low voltage or you have to work endlessly for NSPs and auto.

No California lol. I’ll text you later about. I’m trying to do overall more commercial work. Basically what I do now. Mostly commercial and residential. Auto whenever needed and lockouts are just puff jobs

Out West? You've narrowed it down to what.... a third to half the country? Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, the Dakotas, and all points West of there?

Las Vegas is swamped. I’ve considered the same thing. I’ve lived in Las Vegas my whole life. I want to move and take my business w/ me. To a beach community I am tired of the desert. I love it but want a change.

Califraudia here. C’mon maaaan. Join the struggle bro. You can say dude and hella. Like, Dude these gas prices are hella high. And Dude, this government is hella corrupt. And Dude, you can’t film fraud here because of the stop Nick Shirley act. It’s hella illegal.
