the end again?

so. much. work. I have been putting in 10 hour days. there were a few days were i was gone for 12 hours. so draining. things have been a lot better than my previous job. it's all new construction. no renos. and its all custom homes. big custom homes. ridiculous homes quite frankly. the house in simcoe has a some sort of geothermal thinger. I don't know exactly what it does. it has something to do with the heated floors. ya every foot of floor in this place is heated. even the front porch is. and in the summer the water from the pool will cycle through the floors and ya it's just crazy. incredibly high ceilings. lots of lights. crap load of plugs. there will be a whole whack of tvs around the house. ...5 or 6 from what i know. all plasmas. theres 3 or 4 breaker panels. speakers throughout the house. every single wall is insulated. some other guy originally did the wiring and i think it got inspected and it failed miserably. so we got in there and spent a few weeks ringing out wires and trying to figure out what all they did and what we had to fix. i think we finally got caught up with all the other guys working on the house. we started holding them back a bit cause there was so much we needed to do.
The house in ancaster isn't as crazy. but it's still pretty crazy. the owner is a nut. thats all i'm gonna say about that.
There are 4 houses in Oakville. or. 3. and one just outside in burlington. and i think one other in burlington. i haven't been to that one yet. the oakville ones are crazy. 2 of them are for this guy that buys property with a house on it. destroys everything. then builds a huge house on it. then sells it. the original property? 800K - one mill. insane. its like one of the most expensive areas to live in canada. i saw an aston martin drive by the one day.
I had today and have tomorrow off. i don't know whats going on. might be losing my job. maybe not. i am slightly paranoid.
