I remember a couple of years ago working on a project in a hotel where I was responsible for connecting all the plumbing and electrical work in the kitchens for of various restaurants that were in the hotel. In total there were trees separate kitchens and as usual because the project was behind your trying to open a as quickly as possible so I was rushed to try and get this job completed on time. I guess this is what always happens to contractors when a building is almost at the final stage of completing. It’s all as we all got to do with finance as they want to open up as quickly as possible to start paying back the various loans that they have for construction.
I must say in all the years I have worked the quality of the equipment that was being purchased for the kitchens was the best possible. They seem to have the best quality of everything which is nice if you can do it. All of the electrical equipment ovens, microwaves, and cooking utensils were all top quality. Even down to the garbage disposal again they where the best you could probably purchase. It was my job at the time to fix at least six of these in each of the various restaurant kitchens. It’s quite interesting to put garbage disposal doesn’t really take that long to fix especially when they come which instructions and all the proper connecting parts. I think it took me about a day’s work to get all of the garbage disposals connected and working and to this day I don’t think I have ever installed as many in one single day. Hopefully never will because I don’t particularly this type of work – doing the same thing over and over again can be very soul destroying.
When I was finished in the restaurants I then got to work on some of the executive suites that they had on the top floor of the hotel. These were very exclusive and I’m sure are very expensive. They had all modern interiors/fittings/designs/styles/electronics you name it everything was just amazing. I remember one of the rooms even had 4 LCD screens in the price of them then was very expensive.
Overall sometimes working contract work can be quite good because you get to see a variety of different things all the time. Sometimes when you get jobs like I did working on garbage disposals it can be a little bit of a pain because I personally do not like repeating the same thing over and over again. But, I guess it’s the variety of this chosen career that I sometimes enjoy.
