Subbed! Late of course, but a journal full of info I see. Now to look back a ways and get caught up...
Really sorry to hear about the lay off....Been there, done that...Being in construction myself I KNOW the hardships that can come with it.
I'll say this though. Colorado is EXPLODING with growth, and there is plenty of work for someone like you two who don't mind getting your hands dirty. A lot of people here are bitching about all the out of state transplants, (pun intended) and "Marijuana Refugees"...But its those who move here strictly for the Cannabis boom only, and stand on the street corners begging while we work our arses off to support them. You don't seem like those type of folks, and hard workers ARE welcome here.
I know it's be so hard moving the kiddos, (we have three girls), but, if you were down and out enough, there's work here!!
