Good News!

Wow I’ve had so much going on today/tonight that I totally forgot to tell you the good news! You know how I said Hubby came home from work yesterday really upset because he had to basically have a talk with the boss and have two guys fired from his crew? It really upset him because he’s one of those people who can’t stand for anyone to be mad at him for any reason even if the person deserved what happened to them. He’s still adjusting to all of the responsibility that comes along with being the guy in charge.

Well, he was definitely rewarded for it. When he got to work this morning the boss called a meeting with him, and the results are that Hubby got a raise! His boss basically said he’s never had his crews run as efficiently as they are now with Hubby in charge.

Hubby makes sure everyone is doing their job and not just f’ing around like they want to do. He runs a tight ship and demands quality over anything else from his guys. That’s why their company only builds 2-5 houses a year at most. They’re multi million dollar homes, and quality is the number one priority.

He got another $1 on the hour, and his boss said if he keeps things running as smoothly as they are now, he can expect another .50 or $1 after every house they finish this year. They’ve currently got another 2 houses scheduled for this year, and they’re almost finished with the one they’re on now.

Every time my mom complains about the fact that she thinks Hubby should quit his job because it’s too far to drive, I remind her that there is no way he’d be making the same money around here. Around here lead carpenters with 20 years experience can barely find someone to pay them $10-15/hour. Hubby’s blessed to have found such a great job with such a great boss, and the fact that he makes extremely great pay is just an added bonus!
