Pritch, I too believe in shop local, but, yes it gets harder and harder.

I have noticed you, like us, travel some to job locations.

I will never figure out why the locals will hire a contractor from out of town, then we have to travel to work in another town. A lot of our people spend the week away from home.

A couple years ago the local school hired a construction manager from down south, and within a week one of the teachers called wanting us to donate goods and labor for a school project. DUH.

Only about 20% of our sales come from within the county. Of course the other 80% is under ground utilities and treatment plants, so we would have to travel anyway.

Oh well, I'm happy.
