Cabinet sales down a ton in May, anyone seeing encouraging signs?

New home sales have fell through the floor but things have actually picked up in my part of the state for remodeling. This area is pretty insulated from the economy….with the two biggest employers in the area being the state prison and the Army ammunition plant that makes almost every bomb for the military (Always need prisons and bombs I guess). Plus this town is loaded with "Old Money" ...probably 50% of all the business's here have been in the same family for a couple of generations.

Granted "New" Home sales have really dropped because people are scared of what may happen…but those same people who seem to build a new house every few years are now remodeling…or buying older house's for their kids and fixing them up.

Some of the ones who are fixing up and remodeling are going all out in the cabinets and custom furniture and built In's.
