narlus said:well that's certainly debatable.
I don't have the day off, so thanks for nothing.N8 said:Tomorrow is Veteran's Day... thanks vets!

SilentJ said:We work tomorrow and get it off at Christmas...It's called Remembrance Day up here in Canuckistan.
DamienC said:I'm off tomorrow. I'll be dirt jumping during the day and then going to the Dwell Homes by Empyrean seminar in the evening.
Yeah, that was my impression too. One of their selling points seems to be the cost effectiveness of modern pre-fab but I'm not quite convinced. But whatever, I like the house designs and I'm guessing it would be hard to get a custom modern house for those prices. But I'm a total novice in this area and I'm not even a homeowner at the moment but looking for a more appealing alternative to the drab McMansion cookie cutter houses or bullsh*t condos that dominate most of this area.N8 said:I called Empyrean and ordered some info from them. They are pretty pricey for for this market... $175-$250/s_ft which is more than a site built home.

I'll give you a full report about the seminar afterwards.
don't discuss the unattractiveness of garage doors here.DamienC said:But whatever, I like the house designs and I'm guessing it would be hard to get a custom modern house for those prices.

We do at my company, but I'm not 100% as to whether its considered a stat holiday or not. We work Easter Monday and take it off at Christmas too. We don't get jack for new years, though since its on the weekend. The company I work for is cheap as Fk as its privately owned by two dudes...N8 said:Don't you get Boxing Day off as well?
I agree. My company gives us the day off as a "float" holiday (we can take it when we want) but I think it should be like any other big holiday. The vets should get the day off no matter what the job.Velocity Girl said:I think all veteran's should be able to have the day off. They fought for us and our country, I think it's the least companies could do!
I completely agree. We get the day off to honor Presidents but not the guys who do their heavy lifting!Ciaran said:I agree.
