Full Version: Got Laid Off
I just got laid off for lack of work at Wymore. God gave me the gift that I can fix, modify and fabricate almost anything. When anyone in my family or friends need some car, rv, or atv parts they call me to do the search. Example, I just received a hydrualic ram for my dads Rv leveling system, im installing it tomorrow. The other day I fixed my parents home roof. I do all repairs and maintenance on my cars, I can install lift kits, bolt on mods. I repair or fab utility trailers. Almost anything that is manual labor.

There building a large Border Patrol Station in Welton and I am sure as cheap as it went they will be hiring localy...Pervailing Wages to boot.
That sucks - I'm sure you'll find something soon.
Im a lil stressed but relieved also. I was the person that the sups gave all the work that needed to be done good and quick. Most of the time I had several jobs piled up while the other welders were kicking it, working at a slow pace. I was the person who recieved all the work that the others didnt want to do. Good thing is that I met alot of people, and they know what I can do. What I really want to do is put my talent to work for my own, with no boss.

Check with the TH storage places...perhaps they can refer repair work to you on the side! You could prolly even do the repair work on site!

There you go vato. There's work out there, you just have to look for it. Post a flyer/flyers at the Glamis Beach Store advertising your services, etc.
Sorry to hear this Carlos, but looks like you've got the right attitude about it. You'll come out on top!

great attitude, good luck
Hope you are able to get something started very soon, every time I read something like this I can't help but think by The Grace Of God Go I. Your idea sounds on track with starting your own and survive untill things get better. Good luck!
Thanks everyone.

I dont have the right tools, like a bender and a shear to make something like that. I tried and didnt like the outcome. Im gonna focus on what I can do, hopefully ill be able to buy what I need in the future.
