this morning as my job is wrapping up pretty soon- can either travel with the company(rapid city south dakota is their next one)or find some other work.theres alot of building going on here 99% is production framing these block huses in about two days
anyway there is some townhomes going up down the road two story,hardie board,vinyl soffit,aluminum facia.a couple of the common buildings have some of the cedar impression inyl on the fronts
stopped at the office trailer,bigwig with the white hard hat on inside the office lol pointed me in the direction of the boss man of the siding job
real nice setups alumapoles set up all around three buildings,probably 12-15 more buildings left to do,guys up on one of the buildings so i ask him wheres the bossman?he says do you speak spanish?i say no habla
digging through the little bit i picked up i ask for jeffe he says si si thats me.takes me over to one of his workers or whoever that speaks engish a leetle
turns out they need someone to run soffit and facia.i’m thinkin cool probably 3 months of fairly easy work
anyone want a job?they are paying a whole $1.40 a ft

I swear I could sell my fat azz on ebay and do better than that. I guess I could make the numbers work for 1.40/ft. If I sold my house, truck, and tools, and moved into the two bedroom apartment that the other 15 guys on the crew are living in. Course I'd have to bum a ride from them, but hey... it's work, right? The wife can fend for herself.
We just might be doomed.
You're not doomed. Move to India... go into tech support. Your English accent will be a plus.
$1.40 per ft, is that lin.ft or sq.ft of soffit & fasica?
Hose A & Hose B our doing siding @ .95 per ft, & that ft. is calculated from the sq.ft amount (floor space) of each house, condo or townhome. This includes set & wrap /flash all doors & windows, soffit , fasica, trim & siding.
Their doing a 4-plex right now, will head down & get you some photos & post in the evening.
At a $1.40 a ft. around here you would have people standing in line to do the work!
