Hows everybody doing?

We in the building trades here in the Ozarks have been feeling the brunt of the resession with 20 hr weeks and weeks off here and there. But of course with the unusually wet spring hasn't helped either but I think that people are starting to think about building again, bids are slowly starting to go out again. I am begininng to think this thing is starting to bottom out and maybe we're going to be alright. I can't say why but I just feel that the darkness is lifting off of us, what do you all think? I am curious how it is in your necks of the woods? Any other construction people out there? I am not wanting to open any political cans here, just want to see how everybody is fairing so far this year.
