I in the metal stud, drywall, ACT, Paint, and more, but those are the main ones trades I deal with. I've trained a few people under me already, and it has shown me that it definitely is not for everyone. I had a colleague who worked for a GC, and left to be an Electrical/Lights Designer, can't remember exactly, because the stress and demand was just too much. They are MUCH happier. Haha.

I couldn't agree more on your last sentence!

It’s nice that all projects that we look at my have similarities, but they are all different which is nice to keep the mind stimulated and make it not feel boring IMO.

I had none. I went to college for electrical engineering. I had to learn everything from scratch and somehow survived the steep learning curve. Attention to detail, having really good memory, and being good a communication helps A LOT.

I’d agree that’s probably about the same for my region as well maybe a little higher depending on trade. I’m no chief estimator (yet), but I do bid most of my regions work and have had a successful track record. So I’m sure that played in my higher salary through the years.

I’m in commercial MSD. Yes. I do get bonuses in my company and I feel very fortunate about it! I feel like it would only make sense to have some type of structure to reward your employees especially if they beat the Budget numbers! With what can be a high stress job at times, those incentives/bonuses make it feel worth it!

I work for a subcontractor, but you are sooooo spot on with what the job can entail. It is definitely not for everyone. I can only imagine the stress on the GC side of things since you have to grab numbers from multiple subs and scope them all out. I’ve been in the business almost 6 years now and that learning curve is no joke. I feel like I’m always still learning something new. I like to tell people I color electronically for a living.

I'm not entirely sure what your line of work entails, but for me it involves looking at electronic blueprints of commercial projects and providing an estimate of cost for my company to build said project specifically for our trade and hopefully we are competitive in our price and win the project. Mine would be the drywall world.

I got really lucky and landed the job from just applying on a job post. The demand, at least in my area, is high right now, but it feels so difficult to find anyone. You might even get lucky just by searching up contractors and just knocking on their doors and show interest.

Agreed. I never thought I would be in construction or end up staying as long as I have. The $$$ was hard to resist!

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Are you asking about the salary difference from field versus office? Or are you asking what the office like Project Managers do?

I work for a company!

Estimator for Construction.

Just found out 4 years later that my ex-fiance cheated on me with her current boyfriend. The time line all makes sense considering they started dating shortly after we broke up. I'm doing fine and not letting it put me down because it's not worth my energy. But man... can't deny that it hurts to know.

Actually just sold the rest sorry!

SEE YOU THERE!

Are you still looking?

This exact thing happened to me when I decided to get Gold. Everything posted in my bank and not pending, so I was confused. It triggered it when I deposited more money. Now I have to wait till Thursday for it to post on RH. Sad.

Test

The pad on the AB5k is not firm like the rogue flat bench. It’s a lot softer.

Weights Purely to weigh down your rack so you don't have to bolt it down. Haha.

Not gonna lie. My training 2.0s are the first thing I see when I open that garage door and they really do have a way of making my day that much better after work when I go hit the gym.

It actually ended up being the lat bar! Nothing missing either.

Idk how well cornbread cook in these ones though.

I was planning on extending my RML 390F. I got pricing for 90" uprights that had welded feet and not without welded feet. The HR-2 conversion kit for 90" uprights was only $10 more before tax and shipping so I might just go that route and get some crossmembers from REP since its half the price for 4 of them.
