Shocking stat about construction and building needs

That’s insanity. In our area we’ve been seeing an exponential rise in foreign workers in the industry to supplement the lack of workers locally. There have been definitely pros and cons. Of course jobs are actually getting done, and not all bad, however, some issues though due to lack of proper training and experience causing system failures (some dangerously so, ie. collapsing concrete slabs) in many high profile jobs in the city. It seems the smaller towns aren’t seeing it as much as the builds are smaller, not much commercial work and people tend to stick with smaller local companies for the residential and spec homes. But if the workers aren’t here, and the work load continues to rise, what other options are there?
This is an aspect I've wondered about. Like with anything, when you have a big need for something, there is a chance you could get an influx of folks coming into fill those roles faster than normal and in turn, the training and general experience isn't there compared to someone that maybe didn't rush in as quickly. That of course could lead to poor work and as you said, sometimes dangerous results - "collapsing concrete slabs"

Funniest rookie mistake 😅😂

This clip from back in Season 1 of the Good Contractor Podcast got me thinking about posing the question on the community…
What’s the funniest “rookie mistake” or “rookie confusion” you made or had when you were just starting out?
In the clip, Desmond Tse (The Siding Guy) shared how he thought he was getting paid per square foot at a certain rate (when it was by a square)

I love the clients that you’ve built a relationship with over the years. They share stories, hugs and often tears. If makes you feel like not just a worker in their home, but a friend. 
I also like when clients give me coffee.
