    Default dh lost job

    well hubby found out yesterday he has no job to go back too. Hes acarpenter, seasonal. His boss went in dept to high had to lay off a bunch of people, selling alot of his big equipment and Dh went to ask yesterday, did he have a job to go back to in April. he said soory no, he just couldn't.
    We heard rumors, so he started to put applications last week out and this week, just incase.
    He has been off since Novemmber for surgery on his arm. So being well enough to go back, he wants so badly to go to work. Were getting on our nerves. Cant take hubby to much lol
    I know God gives us what we can handle, so Im not freaking out, and at a last alternative if Hubby don't find same paying job, or close to it. Well truck payment lowered or sold. Then our payments will be lower at Bank.
    And if it gets bad enough, in the evenings Ill have to get work. Cleaning or taking care of someone

    I am sorry, but like the other ladies said, it will work out. I have been married 31 years and we had so many ups and downs and ins and outs, I have forgotten most of them.

    Dear Miss Thrifty,

    I agree with the other ladies whole heartedly. My hubby is a painter so I understand how the jobs can go at anytime
    But its spring and the people should be coming back so maybe he can pick up some fix and repair work. I don't know how the rules are by you but down here its pretty easy to let folks you know how to do good work and that your available and the work will roll in as everyone always has something that needs fixing or repairing.
    We'll add you'all to our dinner prayers tonight

    Are there any new home builders in the area?
    You could also look at craiglist for carpentry work, he could even post an ad for free I think!
    Alot of people need that type of work done.
    Good Luck, I am sure he will find something soon!!!

    I agree. Put an ad in the paper or post on Craig's List. You never know who might need something done. This is the time of year when people are wanting to fix up their house or make changes.
