I still expect that as long as housing and multi-family activity continues the market will be strong. It just isn't as vibrant as in 1999 and 1998. If we can stay with the status quo, most contractors will be happy. They haven't been able to keep up with the available work anyway. We've felt it in overall sales.
People are more cautious, but there is still significant momentum in the current economy.
I think there's enough confidence that we'll see continued growth, just not at this rate. We can't just look in our own back yard for future growth and stability. We need to look beyond our borders. Other countries are developing at a phenomenal rate because of the information available to them through the Internet and other technology. As they grow, we can market our goods and services to them.
