Irish foreman (a good guy) and 5 mexicans (with very little English between them). BUT He made a point of thanking me and had some other questions. We talked for about an hour and I helped him install a BIG FREAKIN' WINDOW (350 lbs). The Hispanic gentlemen were doing the prep work (sill flashing, man-handling the windows in, caulking the inside of the flanges and nailing the top corner of the flange to hold it there) and he was following behind to check the shimming, making sure every nail hole was nailed and doing the taping. I have to tell you, I have never been so happy on a job site before. The 3 polish guys had actually explained the proceedure to him and had used the PDFs I provided. THEY WERE LEARNING! And, best of all, the actually THANKED me for teaching them. Think I will chage my client an extra $500.

Nice going Will, good job. Too bad not all the ones in this building trade that think can build, would have the chance to get taught right from the get go.
