Welcome to The Contractors Club

     The Contractors Club is an online association of contractors that was started on 8/16/2007. This site focuses on running and managing a construction business. The Club was founded on the idea of contractors helping contractors grow their business while improving the quality of the industry as a whole.

     Due to only industry related members allowed to achive membership the club has grown rapidly and offers lots of information and advice based from real life experiences. There are 2 levels of membership. Associate Members have introduced themselves to the association and share the same goal as the other members. Preferred Members have proven their level of expertise by contributing to the site and have full access to all the club offers.

Welcome

A section dedicated to those on the West Coast.

Hey, come on guys, this section is for the West (better) Coast constructors. If you want to move out here, fine. Otherwise stay at home. :P

Tom, for your info, Simpson Hardware is based in Ca., and they won't let the state fall into the ocean. I'm sure that they will come up with a solution. :wink:

We are sort of west coast, just has an earth quake this AM as well.

5.0 - shock pretty good for about 10 seconds.

Those won't have shear strength in an earthquake. Better nail them on!
