| |  | | Notices | Hi Unregistered,
I am Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. It is my hope that a few good craftsmen and craftswomen will call this sanctuary a home.
I will try to make this place as appealing to you as possible.
We do have a few ground rules (without rules there can only be chaos).
1. Respect yourself and your trade.2.No trade bashing. But, by all means, please debate. It is through the debates that we get to the truth.
3. In your signature, you may not link to any other site. If you supplied your link in your profile, you may put that link under your avatar
4. Do not insult the guests.
5. Your participation is necessary in all polls. This is the only way we can get real feedback.6.You can post pictures of your work. Please, the only work we really care about is the work you do to stone, not on it (nothing inappropriate).
7. You will also be required to be active in this forum. I intend to rid the NSRA Trade area of the hacks and stone-voyeurs by mandating anyone who wants access to the trade lounge to register with their location and trade. If for any reason a person does not participate for duration of 60 days they will be banned from the lounge "No Beer for you". We have guys who are willing to share their knowledge and experience to the public for free. The least you can do is ask the questions. If trade lounge has just one other person, I would be happy if that one person was someone I could exchange ideas with and by doing so better myself. In that way, this site is more about show and tell.
8. The general public will not be allowed in the trade lounge. The trade lounge members are not allowed in the student lounge. The students will be able to view but not post in the general room. All questions for the trade are to be confined to the trade lounge or they would be redirected to the trade lounge. Anyone in the trade lounge can make a reply to the general room once they keep in mind that we are promoting natural stone as a serviceable product.
9. We are craftsmen and women, not politicians. So leave the politics out.
MIA, Marble Cleaning Net, NTC, sfa and ISI are all welcome here as long as they respect this forum. There is a room where all may place their ads and do their promotions for upcoming events, a calendar for trade shows, educational classes, and any other type of trade gathering. For all the salespeople, we even have a place for you. You can enter your product up for reviews and the good folks will grade your products. I must warn you. If your product is inferior, the whole world will know, quickly. No news travels faster than bad news. For all the homeowners, contractors, and designers we even have a place for you. The general room is where you can ask as many questions as you want. You may not get the answer you are looking for but you will get the right answer. If there is any way that we can make your visit more pleasurable, please let us know. | | Works Needed Discuss, southern california job market at Consumer & Non-registered Lounge forum; hey every one, I was wondering what the job market for restoration was like in southern california.

| southern california job market
hey every one, I was wondering what the job market for restoration was like in southern california. I want to move there really bad mostly for the surf and warm weather. but with what we have established here it's really scary to think that it would be all gone and I would be struggling to pay the bill over there. so i'm wondering if there is anyone on here from socal that can give me some input on what it's like. |

I know the labor force is primarily of the southern border decent which drives down prices way lower than I will work for. I have a friend in the thousand oak area that has a day rate of $750.00 and thats with 2 people working.
Good luck,

Hello Hieu,
It's been a while. A friend of mine opened up a countertop & cabinet store about a 6 mo ago, and doing really good. Installation jobs are abundant, I think.
Restoration wise, I'm in San Jose competing with James even at the golf course! Pretty tough~. (Just kidding). Seriously, I am still struggling but getting better. Whenever you relocate, it will take some time to settle.
I never lived in Boston area so I wouldn't know how expensive it is up there.
Compare to Fl,WA,and KS, living cost is ridiculosly expensive, especially housing. But the bottom line is you have to pay for the weather and good asian food. ha ha
