The rugged beauty of the Pacific coast is on my mind as I seek to relocate and be a carpenter with a high quality, reputable, drug free company. I have 16 years of experience with the last 9 doing high end residential trim work, casework, on site cabinetry, built-ins, etc. Taking a position in a cabinet shop would be something I’d like to try if the situation pays a living wage and offers a chance to learn within my profession. Above all I seek an enviorment that promotes professionalism in the trade that I have chosen to make life. Anyone who reads this who also works in an area they feel is compatible in beauty and thinks that maybe we can discuss a possible situation that would benefit us all, feel free to respond.

Good luck George, but stay south of the Columbia River. There's a strange weather phenomena and it rains ALL the time in Washington State. No work to be had up here either, and what work there is, doesn't pay squat.
You might find work around Scio, Oregon. God's country, for sure.
*Thanks for the tip Jim, sure wouldn't want to be wet all the time. I'll still keep looking because sharing a little piece of God's country doesn't sound all that bad if I can get paid to swing a hammer in it.I was wondering why you think Scio looks promising?
*Even trim carpenters get rained on up there? Seems like I once learned how to hang sheetrock because it had a roof over it. I kinda figured those fancy ass pretty boy finish guys would melt if they got wet, kinda like sugar. hee heeJonC
*well, I, er, um...well that is to say...well they still get wet runnin' from the truck to the building! Yeah, that's it. Anyway, it's real tough to find work this far North this time of year. I was just tryin' to give the guy good advice. Yeah, that's it...Scio...heaven...high wages...low taxes...
*Damn, I saw two messages and thought something was brewing for me. Just you two guys exchanging weather reports. By the way ,I don't just do trim carpentry, just sort of specialize in it now that we can be choosy with this glut of work. Basically I only work with wood related carpentry,framing,decks ,wood floors, cabinets, built-ins also. Anyway,stay dry if you can and I'm still looking to move.
