I will however, remain gamefully employed #justice

*gainfully

You're absolutely correct on the industrial construction thing though. I agree I think we're headed for a big slowdown, in fact I know people who have been already feeling it for the past year as well.

It's interesting you bring up the commercial and residential items, because most people don't realize the impact an influx of workers will have on those industries. There are a lot of people who will struggle to find work when a bunch of oil sands guys come back ready to work their asses off for 8 hours a day.

People seem to think that I work in the sands, and that's all I can do or whatever. :seriously:

If I can build large pile cap foundations, along with million square foot on grade slabs, while also accounting for various pump and equipment pads, and surveying the pockets for massive anchor bolts which will hold down 300 ton vertimills. If I can do all that, i'm pretty sure pouring the foundation for a dinky little residential project is going to be a breeze.

We make fun of the guys up in the sands, even I do it, their all drunks, or they all do drugs, and drink, and go to the peelers every night. But if that's what you really believe you're being ridiculous.

Many of the guys up there are there, and getting paid the big bucks, because they are the best in the damn business. Seriously. These are some of the most skilled, and experienced tradespeople, and when they come back from the sands looking for work, they are going to take all the local construction jobs, and they won't complain because they will happily go home to their families every night.
