Now that there is a semblance of normal, people are cleaning up and want to rebuild.  Besides the high cost of construction materials, there are not enough workers to go around.  Construction foremen and crews tell stories of receiving high bids at their job site.  A lot of their co-workers leave to make the money.  Some people can't find workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is that everybody is rebuilding.  Everybody flocks to Homedepot, Lowe's and other self-building stores to buy merchandise.  They manage to bring all of them to the work site.  There is no worker to start the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a lot of opportunity to get a new company to go down to work.  Even those who are in the cleaning business get overwhelmed with demands.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10968553-112865061112649166?l=homestager.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://katrinashopping.blogspot.com' title='New Orleans, Louisiana Needs more Construction Workers'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/feeds/112865061112649166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10968553&amp;postID=112865061112649166' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/112865061112649166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/112865061112649166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/2005/10/new-orleans-louisiana-needs-more.html' title='New Orleans, Louisiana Needs more Construction Workers'/><author><name>AmeriKaKanKare</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://shopnowshop.com/hamburger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968553.post-111007144854051431</id><published>2005-03-05T17:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-05T17:10:48.540-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/640/DSC00197sfrestaurant.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/320/DSC00197sfrestaurant.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you care for a Martini?

More and more ethnic groups such as Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, African-Americans and Blacks from other places are enjoying them.  Read about these fruits and more in the books listed below.

Observers in the very powerful farming community, farmers, growers and long-time valley residents are concerned by the increasing loss of valley farm lands to developments.  Houses are sprouting where grapes, peaches, nectarines and corn used to be harvested.  They deplore the encroachment on the farm land.  They hope that the Central Valley can take some lessons from Marin County that protects and conserves huge expanse of lands.  Some of these issues are raised in this book, "California: a Breath of Fresh Air," available at &lt;a href="http://shopnowshop.tripod.com"&gt;Shopnowshop BlueSkyBookstore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 8pt;'&gt;PromQuincenera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10968553-111003627405805044?l=homestager.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/feeds/111003627405805044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10968553&amp;postID=111003627405805044' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/111003627405805044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/111003627405805044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/2005/03/documentary-of-valleys-changing-faces.html' title=''/><author><name>AmeriKaKanKare</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://shopnowshop.com/hamburger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968553.post-111003593827437078</id><published>2005-03-05T07:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-05T07:18:58.276-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/640/Pic006.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/320/Pic006.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More Pictures from 2005 Central California's Blooms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size: 8pt;'&gt;PromQuincenera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10968553-111003593827437078?l=homestager.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/feeds/111003593827437078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10968553&amp;postID=111003593827437078' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/111003593827437078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10968553/posts/default/111003593827437078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://homestager.blogspot.com/2005/03/more-pictures-from-2005-central.html' title=''/><author><name>AmeriKaKanKare</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://shopnowshop.com/hamburger.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968553.post-111003586185028471</id><published>2005-03-05T07:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-05T07:17:41.850-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/640/Pic005.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/img/16/3930/320/Pic005.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;StagedHomeList and www.shopnowshop.com present the beauty of Central California's Blooms and Blossoms.
