I suppose it is because there was no boom here, it's just "normal" so it just continues like that.

My OH just phoned one drywall company, explained the whole LMO situation, went in and met the directors and was hired on the spot. Just get on the phone and if your coming on a reccie go into the offices and meet people.

Thanks again AmyDavid. "Normal would be great". Work situation here in construction is dire. OH has work at the moment but running out fast, but we dont want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
My OH is a carpenter but has done a bit of drywalling too.

My OH's cousin and brother are both drywallers in the UK and work is more or less non-existent for them at the moment. Money is majorly tight for us here at the moment, but at least we have money coming in. If we were in the UK we would really be in trouble now.

Even with money majorly tight are you happier than in the UK?

OMG yes - 100000% yes. I love it here and all it has to offer. My OH may be doing the same job here but the stress of it is completely different. I would most definately say I am happier here
