You never get time to spend those checks, so you should end up with a big wad of money...unless you send the checks home in which case they will probably get spent...
With working so many hours and so many days in a row does the crew ever get burnt out? Will you do this until the job is done, or shut down at some point during the winter?
Don't you worry, my wife strolls into the office every Friday and picks up my check.
A few years ago we were on a job in Sandpoint. We'd been there for three and a half months working 12 hour days and no days off. One of the guys went down and cashed a $100.00 check at the store so he could buy his girl friend and her son a souvenir when we went home. A couple days later the store owner showed up on the job. His check bounced. His girlfriend had a new man with a little habit is seems.
Not very often do we get burnt out. It does happen though. We were on a dock job for a month one time. It was in February and was around ten below zero everyday. There was a constant 40 MPH wind day in and day out. Add that to only about 5 hours of day light. The water line froze to the house we were living in so we never had running water. The cook was also horrible. I finally shut the job down and chartered a plane home. Took a week, fired the cook, got a plumber to fix the water, went back to work. The weather warmed up a little and everyone was happy again.
The job is done in Akutan for this year, Were currently working on a dock extension here in town. We don't shut down for winter.
