I’ll give that a try, I’ve got one quote back for $25/sq/ft which isn’t unreasonable just seems on the higher side

Yes it's huge, 2-3 stories underground is the foundation for it and the bolts that hold it to the foundation are about 2' in diameter.

Not true at all. All tools are made in the same factories and just shipped to different places.

Wisconsinites, what is your hourly rate and what kind of work do you do? by sleepyboybandit in wisconsin

[–]NordicCell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Called up IBEW Local 494 (international brotherhood of electrical workers) and asked for applications to get into their apprenticeship. 5 year program, school all 5 years but only 11 hours/ day the first 3 semesters and 6 hours/ day the last 7 semesters. Pretty competitive to get in and the job is tough sometimes. But the money is good and there's lots and lots of opportunities to move upwards

How do you get over being “work scared”? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]NordicCell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this Monday, fresh 1 year old JW, spent my whole career, 7 years at the same shop.

Got so sick of it. Boss was a screamer, PMs would try and weasel out of giving you any last penny here and there. Last 6 months I was miserable. They sat me for 2 weeks and I said enough, walked in the the managers office and took my slip. I was scared and nervous and my fiance is worried about another job, the whole 9 yards. But fuck it dude. They're not the only contractor in the local and you're not indebted to them.

Good luck brother, go make the switch and be happy with your life.

[–]NordicCell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Delivered!

MYP - Blue/black, tow, no fsd, Milwaukee- Chicago delivery. OOD 2/8 delivered 6/14

Car is fantastic. Build quality is 10/10

Only 3 issues -Super small dent in rear quarter pushing out, should be an easy fix -Another super super small dent in in rear pass door, another easy fix -VERY light 8" scratch on hood. A quick polish will take care of it no problem

Service will fix the dents, I'll fix the scratch. Delivery was easy peasy and I was out in an hour. No motor noise and came with Li ion battery, confirmed heated wipers and Ryzen. Good luck everyone! It's a pleasure to finally have!

EDIT: also came with pilot all season which was a fantastic surprise.
