steady work for a licensed carpenter in the more rural areas of ontario?

After 25 years with one IBEW company I developed heart trouble and dropped out(couldn't afford to keep paying the dues) to do small maintenance work on my own. I charged small but worked long hours. Finally we moved up here, hoping to retire.
After 15 years of doing and turning down work, I found I had cancer and this time I intend to stay retired no matter who phones, ( unless the job sounds REAL interesting)
I never had any trouble finding non-electrical work and wound up on some pretty interesting projects. Maybe I had to drive 20 miles to work, but it was a 20 minute drive most days.

Those are words to live by but especially when talking about leaving the GTA behind.

I have a cottage in the kawarthas and was trying to find someone to do carpentry work on a garage I wanted built and it was like pulling teeth. Finally found someone but had to wait til he was free from the prior work obligations he currently had. Most people I called never bothered returning my call so not sure if Kawarthas, Haliburton or Minden is your cup of tea but plenty of work to be had at decent rates.

I love that area and have spent lots of time on the Burnt River. We are considering the Pembroke area and the muskokas to move to. I have had work all year around for close to 10 years now so I'm definitely accustomed to fulltime hours haha.

If you build a good reputation by doing good work at fair prices you can always find work. Just don't use the local Legion as your headquarters.....

Been in and out of the union for years. They are a corrupt organization run by the mafia and do very little to keep their members working.....unless you do volunteer work to promote the union. It doesn't matter if you're a good carpenter or not, it's who you know at the top and what you can so for them....makea my blood boil.
