I'm not jealous of the construction workers down the street

They are constructing a new apartment, and right now they are just starting the 4th level on the building. No walls up to shield them from the wind. They started at 6AM (its 8AM now here)

Weather

I bet its even windier up there, as this is a very windy city.

One thing is for sure, they will have those walls up as fast as they possibly can. That is some nice weather for construction..;)

I am never going to Canada. Heck they can draft me. I would rather go to hot Baghdad than $#%&* cold Canada.

Heh, that's some good Alaska weather there! but when we build things in the winter, we wrap the structure in plastic wrap and pump it full of heat... works pretty well once the major material movement is done.

It finally warmed up in my area. It actually got to be above 10 degrees finally! Heat wave!

At least the cold is expected to end soon. Back to above freezing by the weekend. :)

I think if I wasnt doing accounting, Id like to be doing construction. I just think Id enjoy it. Physical hands on work building things, and at the end of the day, you feel like you accomplished something. I dont know about the pay though...
