How's biz?

[AHI in AR]

I fully expected my job count to drop off within a couple of weeks into May, after the tax credit expired at the end of April. I was pleasantly surprised to see that what really happened was that work picked up...until the end of May and even into June.

Unfortunately, after the 1st week of June, it has been all downhill.

I'm just hoping everyone is taking vacations and not buying houses. I just know when I leave for vacation next month I'll be flooded with jobs that I can't do as soon as I get on the road with my boys...

What's happenin' with you guys?

[John Dirks Jr]

Very slow in the last two weeks here. That aside, the first 6 months of 2010 were better than any prior year for me.

[Robert Jones]

I have been very slow the last 2 weeks or so. Talking with a few of the realtors I have known over the years, they tell me it is slow all the way around.

[Neal Lewis]

Very busy here. Can't keep up.

[Brandon Whitmore]

Am traveling 100 miles one way this morning

[Jim Morrison]

Slow this week all of a sudden.

[davidlord]

Pretty busy here.

[Mark P]

I've been a lot slower then expected for the past 3 weeks or so; however this week is pretty much booked. I picked up 4 jobs yesterday. So hopefully I'll stay busy for awhile.

[Ben H]

Very slow. Seems all I get are tire kickers.

[gtblum]

No where near as good as back in the good old days. April.

[Jerry Lozier]

inspections increased after tax credit expired, been real steady, biggest difference is 50%+ of my work is now an hour away, it had been about 20% in past...

It's like somebody flipped a switch. I had been humming along with 5-6 per week, but if one originally scheduled for next week hadn't been rescheduled to this Friday, I'd be in the middle of a two week stretch without a single inspection. I might be getting a little panicky if I didn't have that one and two more scheduled for next week.

The silver lining is that I took off most of last week for vacation.
