In a post in late spring or early summer I mentioned how contractors were bidding an unusually large number of commercial projects -- but that few of the bids were getting awarded. Seems that might be changing, at least in some markets. Contractors are still battling lousy weather but many have conveyed that they have plenty of work on the books to get through by the end of the season. My initial thought was that those bids are getting let, and hopefully that's the case. To see if that was affecting materials manufacturers I made a few random calls and got positive news: sales are at the least equaling last year and in a number of cases are up over last year at this time. In fact, one materials producer reports his trucks are "really flying out the door" with sales up 38% over last year at this time. Here's hoping for a nice long end to the season -- and a two-week Indian Summer after that. It has been a tough year but we’re hearing some interesting and unusual things happening out there.
