Commercial Construction ?, esp. metal framing and all drywall. Anyone know where to get ‘Free’ Job leads in AZ?
I am living in Tucson, AZ and am still just starting my business. I am a contractor and I do only commercial construction, for the most part, I bid on the metal framing and the drywall. Thats it, nothing else.
Question I have for you folks is: Does anyone know where I can advertise my business (I already know about The Blue Book) for FREE?, either nationwide for a larger company or a local Tucson, AZ company. Please let me know if anybody knows of anywhere. It would really help me out.

Wize Guy answers:
If you are doing framing (structural) a building permit is required, so cull the County and City building department’s Building Permits Issued report. Look for the General Contractor on the job and call on them.
Go to the ROC (Registrar of Contractors) and call on (phone, e-mail, visit) GC’s in the area you want to work.
Post your card on the bulletin board where you buy your materials, or where the GC’s buy their materials.
Call on Realtors that lease the commercial spaces that need TI’s (Tenant Improvements).
Contact the Commercial Developers in your area.
Network with other trades on the projects that you would like to work on. They can tell you about other projects before they are out of the ground, and ready for bids.

Well I’m booked in for Wednesday morning for an introduction …
I was just wondering can anyone can tell me what exactly happens ?
Is it hard to pass , do they give you a test at the end ?
Bit nervous because i don’t know what to expect .
(blue card is so can work on construction sites etc)
thanks !

Wize Guy answers:
I did the Blue card contruction course at home over the internet. It is really easy. It is all interactive – if you are allowed you may want to write down a few points from each interactive lesson so you will have the answers when it comes time to complete the test.

Helen asks…
Looking for a title to a childrens book from the 80′s or early 90′s.?
I believe it was tall 12″ x8″ hard cover thin book, purple or blue with illustration. Important part, the book was about a factory that made nightmares. The bad guy broke the “master” clock to stop time so he could make nightmares for everyone. He took the spring out and hid it in the real world. A guy that looked like charley chaplin along with a lion looking thing had to find a way to come to the real world, get the spring so time would start again, and the bad man couldn’t give everyone bad dreams. I dont’ remember much else, there was page with the bad guys huge car, the lion guy could change his arms into wings, a green cloacked little garden gnome guy with a peg leg helped show them where the way to get to the real world was. the bad guy used vulture looking birds to deliver the bad dreams, and there was page where he was in the tub looking at a bunch tvs watching earth. it The book was greatly illustrated almost like cut construction paper in layers, with great detail. ?thx?
Hmm, not “The Wish Factory”, thanks though.

Roy Edberhardt, just moved from Florida to Montana. At school he is often teased, until he makes the acquaintance of Beatrice Leep, and her stepbrother, “Mullet Fingers”, a runaway. One day going to school, in his bus, he sees a boy running wildly with no shoes. He stays extremely curious. But kids in school, like Garrett, told him not to worry about it. Roy thought it might be a kid that goes to Trace Middle (his school) but then again he thought, “NO SHOES?” Roy seemed to be very suspicious about this kid. One day after getting home and rushing thru his homework, it was late in the afternoon, and few golfers were out. He locked his bike and…ran. Roy slowed down at the sight of Australian Pines, into which the running boy had gone astray. He suddenly called out “Hello, You There?” he heard nothing but the wind. He was hunting for more clues. Beneath a mat of vines, he found three plastic garbage bags, tied at the neck. The first bag had common everyday-trash, soda bottles, soup cans, potato chip wrappers and apple cores. The second bag held a bag of boys’ clothing, neatly folded shirts, blue jeans, and underpants. But no socks or shoes…Unlike the other bags, the third wasn’t full. Roy loosened the knot and peeked. But couldn’t see what was inside.
I dont know who or what to write about and im very confused. i dont know if to follow this one either. should i?
Roy Eberhardt was sitting on the bus looking out the window. He doesn’t normally look out the bus window. The only reason he was looking out the window was because Dana Matherson was holding his head smashed up against it. Dana was the main bully of the school, and probably is about twice the size of Roy, and loved smoking and beating up little kids, especially Roy. It was a good thing that he smashed Roy’s face up against the window, because if he didn’t, Roy would have never seen the running boy, who was running with no shoes on.
Recently moved from Montana, Roy struggles to adjust to his new life in Florida. Not only does he miss the mountains and the snow; at school and even on the school bus, his schoolmates tease him because of his previous life in Montana, calling him “Cowgirl” and he later becomes known as, “Tex”. One day, bully Dana Matherson tries to strangle Roy on the bus, Roy strikes back by punching Dana in the face and breaks Dana’s nose. Everyone thinks it was Roy who started the fight, so the vice-principal makes Roy write an apology letter to Dana. However, the vice-principal notices finger-shaped bruises on Roy’s neck where Dana attempted to strangle him on the bus, and believes Roy’s side of the story. However, that was not all that was going on.
Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House corporation intends to build a pancake house in Coconut Cove. The bulldozers have already been parked on the construction site, but work is delayed over and over again because of bizarre but effective acts of vandalism occur in the night. As a groundbreaking ceremony has already been scheduled and advertised, the company is eager to stop all that sabotage, for example by having the site guarded by trained Rottweilers.
While all this is going on, a boy called Mullet Fingers, which is the same kid Roy saw running earlier, is on the run from his dysfunctional family, living wild in the swamplands. A powerful girl, named Beatrice, tells Roy that he is her stepbrother. Her biological mother left her father after he stopped working. He remarried to an extremely nasty woman named Lonna, who hated Mullet Fingers’ strange ways and sent him off to boarding school. Instead, Mullet Fingers ran away, and his sole contact being Beatrice. However, one morning, Roy Eberhardt spots him when he is running away from the school bus rather than hurrying to join the other kids at the next bus stop. Curious, Roy begins investigating and, after some initial setbacks, eventually not only makes Mullet Fingers’ acquaintance but also convinces the other boy that he can be trusted.
After he gains her trust, Beatrice also helps Roy out. When Dana Matherson attempts to kill Roy in a closet after school, Beatrice saves Roy by stripping Dana down to his underwear and ties him to a flag pole with his shirt. Roy attempts to make peace with Dana, but the bully does not agree. The argument ends with Dana being locked outside of his house clad in only some boxer shorts.
It turns out that the running boy, who prefers to be called “Mullet Fingers”, is responsible for the acts of vandalism that have been committed at the construction site. His motives, however, are intended to be honorable; Mullet Fingers wants to save the burrowing owls, which are endangered and protected by the law, that live on the site from being killed when the bulldozing begin construction.
Some antics Mullet Fingers uses to delay the construction are: putting gators in the portable outhouse toilets, spray painting a sleeping police officer’s windows black, and dumping decorated cottonmouths onto the construction site. Roy, after finding out about the owls, helps also. He lies to Dana and tells him that a large amount of cigarettes is hidden in the construction site. So Dana breaks into the construction site to get the cigarettes and is arrested, believed to be the vandal. A policeman is not convinced totally, however, because Dana panics at the sight of a plastic alligator, proving that he could not have put the live ones in the toilet. Even so, they keep him in a juvenile detention center because of his bad record. Roy, meanwhile, searches the Internet and finds a law saying how the burrowing owls are protected by law. Since the guards at the construction site denied any knowledge of the birds, this proves that they are breaking the law. Roy also gives Mullet Fingers a digital camera to take some pictures of the owls to prove their existence and tells his history class about the owls and how the pancake company will bury them.
Eventually, Roy and Beatrice lead a student march to the site, where they expose the company’s greed and dishonesty to the entire town. Although Mullet Finger’s pictures were unidentifiable, a live burrowing owl flies out, proving that owls still live in the area. Kimberly Lou Dixon, an actress who acted as the company’s mascot, is disgusted with her employer’s callousness and joins the demonstrators. The young people succeed in exposing the machinations of those in power; which include illegally removing an environmental impact statement from the official file and taking a bribery; and, eventually, in saving the birds and their habitat. Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House is put into disgrace, and can only evade ruin by expelling the guilty employees and disavowing the plan to build. Lonna attempts to use her son’s temporary fame to become famous herself, even trying to schedule an interview on Oprah. Mullet Fingers, in the effort to escape his vile family situation, climbs out of a bathroom window and is accidentally mistaken burglary. He is shipped to the same juvenile detention center as Dana. When Dana’s mother spitefully tells the police that he stole a ring from her, Mullet Fingers escapes the center Dana and his mother as a distraction, and is never to be seen again, but Beatrice already knows were he went, but informs Roy that she made a “Blood Promise” with Mullet Fingers to not say where he went. Roy adapts to his new home slowly but willingly. At the end, Mullet Fingers real name is revealed to Roy as Napolean Bridger Leep.

Steven asks…
Need a 1989 Olds Cutlass Cruiser Station Wagon Driver’s Door…?
Need the ’89 Olds Cutlass Cruiser 4 door Station Wagon Driver’s door, the one with a single electric window mechanism, no fly window model, and am having a terrible time finding one. My best buddy backed in to my work vehicle, and I need it to look tidy for client presentations.
This will have to happen, “out of pocket” because the insurance company would total the car for it’s blue book value, the repair alone for the single door is greater than the Kelly Blue Book value!!!
I have more in the radio, radiator, muffler and tires than the car is “worth”! But it runs like a top! No reason to scrap it–the gouge is too deep for bondo, too crooked to suction or magnetize back out, and the skin they make today is too thin compared to the weight of the metal of the ’89 auto construction.
In 30328 and need a replacement door from a junk yard or dealer in this sort of thing.
I appreciate any leads or websites one may know of, Thanks!

Car-parts.com or call some local salvage yards that have a national search feature on their computer like LKQ Corp affiliates.
