Up north in the Wash DC region, there was a fairly large hardware/home imp. chain called Hechingers, lots like Lowes/Despot.....so they handed out my card as a kitchen contractor......did ton's of work, one whole kitchen every two weeks was the normal load......there was ONE job/house that extended into everything, and it took a MONTH.....the nice thing is that I worked outta my garage at home, and the van was my tool shack, basically, and delivery transport.....so NO overhead, except the van.....and insurances.....
