Why can't your cost to the customer go up 30% when they raise base prices 15%? Competition that bad in the area?

At least oil prices are coming down a little while you are in the shop.

work is slow, people are hanging on to their money.constuction is WAY down.VIRGINIA has no money [or very little ] to repair or build roads.jacking up the price three time,s in 6 month.s, asphalt is out of site, and there's talk of a shortage of it.

Oh I care. It sucks, I feel for ya.
Right now I just got a job that I hope to save up some money so I can actually get to school. I have yet to get an apartment. I have no support beyond tuition. If I don't move to the other college I can't get anymore classes toward my degree. All this while I have about $7k in medical bills from an accident last December. Why can't I get some .gov money? I'm actually working to improve myself...wait, no my parent's earn too much. Nevermind they give me minimal support (to be honest, I like having to work for stuff rather than be handed it)

I am laid off from my summer job. Fortunately, the chimney calls are beginning to come in. Unfortunately, I expect a high number of calls, followed by zero follow through on necessary but expensive repair work. Keep your head up. It can only get so bad before the only way to go is up.

I never feel sorry for asphalt contractors, they have eaten this state up and made a fortune. I realize you are one of the little guys and it sucks you are hurt but I am tired of an inferior product being touted and used incorrectly and cheating taxpayers for improper installation.

PCC pavement for long term goodness.
