Damn,

Not that I'm that unhappy having a wife and kids and a business that is semi successful but if I were single and it was about 8 years ago I'd be beating down your door. I haven't even seen a tropical beach or scuba'd since 1996. Instead I sit up here in Western Washington covered with mildew... I haven't seen a DRY crawlspace in while either.

Please don't let any of my installers see this thread or I may be a man down real quick.

Whenever I've added someone it seems that the hurt is on for a short period but you get to the point of organizing your workload around the extra body and soon it works itself out. You may find that your hire is permanent and not too much later you'll again be looking because both of you are putting in 80+ per week. Good luck in your search... you'll probably get a lot more replies than I got after posting here (location, location, location)
