Our U.S. side is going to take longer but that too should happen, and when it does it will be a boost to Doman's activities south of the border.
what is not included in any of those figures is renovations and people upgrading their homes EG: decks,fencing, etc.whoch I think is going to be a bigger market this year as people are staying put in the homes they have ?!
we will find out
in the last CC they mentioned that buissness in Ontario had picked up quite a bit but again q1 financial with forward guidance will tell the tale. Also don't forget DBM has a good presence in Hawaii and will most likely get a good chunk of the rebuild buissness of those leveled towns
