    Uh...when I get home. I actually have time to DO stuff.

    16 hours a day....5 days a week is BS in my book. I wouldn't feel like doing squat in my off time.

    Besides....it's illegal to work 96 hrs in 8 days.

    It's the trade we make............

    Just looked at my company's weekly time and they max out at 5 days, which is fine with me it's not too much of nothing in this town anyway to do for five days.

    If you get bored..... I've got 4 more rooms to go on renovations plus the wiring.

    I can make it 7, if you get some more spare time.

    I work for Roehl. I stay out 30 days and take 5 or 6 days off. I'm going to start staying out for about 12 or 13 and coming home for 3. We can take up to 7 days and I think that's for 36 days out. I'd have to double check though.
