Once we began turning over units we'd almost always have 2/3/4 weeks cut out of our finishing schedule and would have to find a way to make up that time again..
I'm at a position financially now where it wasnt worth the stress and toll it was taking on me any longer, i've changed careers over the last 6 months and it's honestly like a breathe of fresh air being in this new industry and the attitude within it.

I hear you, it can be frustrating I'm just glad the scheduling stress isn't really mine to bare but I do feel bad for our foreman and my bosses. Don't get me wrong it's not like I don't have stresses there just different, meeting tight deadlines or missing something on an estimate and costing my company a bunch of money. The biggest stress I have right now is not being able to find anyone qualified to help me out, we've been looking for months with zero success.
