Well, currently I'm between jobs. As a union member, I could work for any number of contractors in a year. Things will be picking up, but at present are slow. I too love green building, my side of that is the energy efficient appliances, solar power and passive solar design. Oregon is wide open in in their thinking in that department and many different materials have been experimented with to find better ways. BUT it is hard to find contractors here that want to venture into those areas, so little experience is given to the everyday worker because of it. So I find my chances of working with solar systems and green/passive solar designs are very limited. A sister electrician that graduated with me wants to start her own solar business in the next year or two, and wants me and another sister to join her. She teased that she'd call the business the "Lady Lectricians".

What kind of work, residential or commercial, do you do? Your experiences?
