    Yeaaaaaahhhhh but then I'd have been on subs the whole time and really would've hated it more than I did.

    Can ppl afford housing/cost of living up in them there Rockies with even that good of pay?

    Do it! You would get hired in a second.
    Chief operators are making almost $70/hr right now.

    Our small turbines crank out about 100MW each @90 RPM. :muscleflexing:

    We've got a few houses for sale near us for that much....I don't think I can afford what they're smokin. Then again out-of-staters are moving in and causing the market to inflate pricing out locals.

    It's paradise no doubt. I worked for a moving company up there in Kirkland and lived in Redmond. One of my clients lived on the San Juan Islands. He wanted to put his place up for sale so I drove out to his hangar where he flew me in his plane to his house. Yeah...

    Give me granite or other hard sealed surface. Having grout on prep areas is mind boggling

    Nice. I have a 14/7 schedule with more paid vacation than I care to admit to.

    I'm in capital construction for a government power generation corporation. It's a short term contract union gig and the union pisses me off regularly, but I'll happily take the silly money they offer me and abuse the time off they provide.

    I will say though, this job is the best argument I've ever had for not paying taxes...

    Stupid high? I always hated working OT because you'd see what you should've gotten and what you end up getting on that paystub.

    I hate the coldness of stone. Makes me feel like I work at Marble Slab and need to get out the ice cream. Plus, if you happen to put your plate down too hard on it, you have a broken plate on your hands.
