temp agencyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yikes
so my real job as a carpenter for a company kindof dried up lately and i was forced to look for a temp job in between REAL jobs.... I landed one (something very underwhelming that im overqualified for) w/ a company who's out in the middle of Rich ass white person Hawaii doing a house with a price tag of $160 million dollars.
yes, i said $160 million dollars. and its completely ridiculous. The outside is panelled with finish wood all the way around and underneath.... OH and its actually ten buildings instead of one house - one separate building for each room. his office, her office, master bedroom, kids room, humongous kitchen and dining room/hall , a nanny quarters, jacuzzi, two $40,000 outdoor stone bathtubs, a sweet gazeebo, like 6 spare bedrooms (huge), 3 basements, a crazy big lawn with a crazy spectacular view of the ocean, 2 swimming pools - 1 with big expensive water slide, and a host of other ridiculous crap 3 people could never possibly need. Seriously, they probably logged half of Thailand for that place, not to mention all the gas and other environmental atrocities committed in the name of their frivolousness.
The rafters are $900 EACH. EACH. there's like 30 full time construction workers there, with probably another 20 outside people. 9 painters. like 9 tile guys, 5 a.c. guys etc etc etc...
the couple shows up every now and then. she looks like an aged "Tennis Barbie" of like 50 years old and the dude looks like anatomically incorrect Ken . Sometimes I think about how cool it would be for some environmental extremist people to purposely go work for a construction temp agency in a place like Hawaii and get placed somewhere like this house, work a couple days on the job and wait til the owners show up . Then they could jump all over them about tacky tennis lifestyles, frivolous wastes of being, spoiled little zombie children, and the fact that they regularly took shits in the walls before sealing them up with drywall...
but in reality theyd probably just spraypaint "meat is murder" on the kitchen door in the first five minutes they're there and get their ass beat by some huge angry local hawaiian construction guy. Especially if the greenie is white.
