Lee and Rob:
I think this is just the beginning of what will blossom here in in 2Q2007-4Q2007 here in Hawaii. I used to be (call it reformed) a finish carpenter (its was one of many family trades), I have/used to restore staircases, paneling and furniture in some of the grand residences and boats on the west coast. You can schedule work out in advance only to have it jerked from under you in a second in a collapse. I actually have 106 custom turned and carved mahogany spindles and 6 12x12 balustrades and railing for a job that paid upfront for materials and 33% labor upfront only to be jerked during the tech collapse in San Francisco.
I just think this is interesting because this is how it started the last times. If you have ever watched Lethal Weapon (it might be 1 or 2) where there is a whole subdivision on fire; that was part of the earlier 90s bust in California, the construction company found it easier to sale the whole alligator to a movie company than sell the thing.
