    Won't get paid for it. Plus I don't want to get snowed in on the way there or way back. Can't miss the first day. And if I have the truck there I may want to go play around and things could break.

    Hmmm lets see... getting paid or having transportation?? Seems like a no brainer. But I do get the snow issue... It's called self control :p

    Cold is pretty much gone. Got all my exterior and interior walls done at the model home. Only have the garage walls to build as soon as I get the material for it.

    Yup. Thankfully it has brick going all around the house so we were able to cheat walls a bit here and there to kind of hide the issues. The owner of the company we are working for stopped by today and told us to 'really pimp this house out since its the model home'. My boss looked at him and said something along the lines of, now you tell us? The house is fucking built. Lol

    I am really glad I'm not in the construction trade.

    In fact, I am pretty happy I am not in the actual "aircraft maintenance" world at the moment either. I don't have to deal with people telling me "to make it work," even though that means jerry rig some shit.

    Isn't that the reason they typically sell the "model" home for so cheap? Because it was the first one built, so it is most likely shoddy work?

    Ideally, the model is to show off your quality.

    It definitely is.
    No, it's supposed to be one of the better built units to show off their build quality.
    They got the contract for the 35 units....

    This is true
