been doing alot of thinking about relocating down to the North Carolina area, can anyone put me in the right direction as to how the housing and job markets are? Don't have an area picked out as to where we want to move to , that will depend on the jobs ( I am a maint. mechanic/ millwright)
There are no vacancies available at this time.We are over our quota of yankee's.

Oh my gosh but that's funny!!!
Scott, their's a lot of ship building/repair yards here in the Norfolk area for a man with your skills. NC is just a short drive away, a lot of the guys I work with live across he border.
what job do you do? that'll depend on the best area. I will be glad to help as much as I can.
Here in the Richmond Va area that is an easy job to get.... I f you try moving to this area let me know and may be able to help.....usually around $20.00 hr. to start but may be shift work. I have done the same work all my working life and do restaurant equipment now.
Like Mark said though we are about 4 years overstocked so you have to pick a number.......Me and Mark are the number holders and sometimes $$$$$ can get your name in front...lol

I have worked on all types of machinery, mainly in the paper industry
Scott, International Paper has their largest mill right here in Franklin. Formerly Union Camp Corp, there are five paper machines at this mill. Housing and other costs are much, much lower than in the Hampton Roads or Richmond areas. Countless fishing opportunities within an hours drive, everything from large reservoirs, to flat and tidal rivers.
What the heck does Greg know?!?

He must know something...................He only works 10 days a month!!!
I couldn't work at a paper mill just because of the smell
I guess that's the reason I don't drink beer, too many days on the Busch Gardens brewery tour as a child.

I'm glad to know our smell works!!!! It's to keep those city people away!!!!!
Years ago, the smell was really bad, but in more recent years, hardly noticable....
Too many Busch Gardens brewery tours as a child???????????
Yeah, The foul smell of the brewery is probably what kept me from drinking beer.
I doubt that the smell in Franklin is getting better, your probably getting used to it now. when I worked in the chemical industry it only took about 6 mths to get used to the smell in the plant (like fiberglass resin), how long have you lived near franklin??? and your just getting used to the smell, that ought to tell you how bad the smell is.

Actually, there is much less smell now. The reason behind that is about ten years ago, Union Camp invented and began using a new bleaching technology where they went from a chlorine bleaching process for the pulp, to an ozone based bleaching process. The new process resulted in a much lower amount of sulphur being produced as a by-product, and that is why most have noticed a significant reduction in the traditional odor of the mill. They were also smart enough to patent the process when they went on line with it. International Paper bought the patent at the same time they bought the Franklin mill from Union Camp. The technology was what made that such a desireable mill, as now they can use that process at all of their facilities.
