Really I am starting to get into my last resorts. At one point I made decent money off of my tile installation business. The economy weakened and so did my income. I have been expanding my knowledge of consrtruction, on the physical scale and also the contracting. I have a crew now that consists of framers, roofers and my tile. We do work, but its not under my own business anymore because I lost the income to maintain my business insurance and workers comp. I am told constantly that if i am capable of attaining these things again that i will have as much work as i want and can start bidding on the surrounding cities in my areas EMERGENCY REPAIR GRANTS. Which aregreat to helping a business get on its way to be more sucessful. I am looking for a way to obtain a grant or aid in this matter. I am an ex felon and most of mt employees have been the same, half of which have been minorities. I work hard and so does everone that works for me. Its a requirement. I just want the ooportunity to make it continue.
