I do have a nest egg for such an issue. I think it would be stupid of me to take two weeks off, waste some money and then work my a** off again to build it back up. Two years ago I broke my knee and spent six months on crutches not able to provide for my family. Spent the nestegg and just got it built back up! Then you come along and tell me I should not work!! I don't think so.

Your choice on what to do, I give my thoughts .
I have walked the bricks when I needed the money ,When things where settled I was better of and others where too.... Roy . 60 years a union member

Some have said Home Inspectors do not need a union ,
Gee I wonder if a union might be a great idea when I see what is happening in Alberta??
