In Montreal, it is said that we go straight from winter to “construction” season, due to the fact that winters are so cold that you can’t dig into the ground until it thaws in May and you cannot get construction workers to brave those sub-zero temperatures unless you pay an arm and leg in extra costs.
So what we end up with is a crunched up holiday season as well, since construction workers seem unable to take their holidays during the quiet time of the year, the last two weeks of July end up being when 25% of quebec labor takes its’ time off.
Given the growth we are enduring at ICP Solar, even yours truly had to cut short holidays this year and end up just taking several “long” weekends. I put that in quotes since even as I am here on a supposed holiday, I am blogging!
Nevertheless, summer is a time to spend as much of it with my kids and wife. Starting September, the kids head back to school, the wife back to the gym and my travel picks up substantially again. Lucky those construction workers are….they get breaks when its cold, breaks when its hot, and breaks in between, not to mention the gleeful eyes of “yummy mummies” whose husbands are off to their desk jobs each day…
Solar Summer regards,
