Greg:
Like you say above, I also love this trade, and also my position as and chief inspector. I also enjoyed my time as an instructor at the County Vo-Tech, until the lack of students ended that.
Yes, the job sites are what I also enjoy. Recent state of the art FEDEX, and one heck of an amazing AMAZON 1.8M Sq ft. (And a new state of the art APPLE store) Amazing technology. We also do facility inspections at our POCO HV Switchyard, that is an interesting site, up to 500Kv switching, and a full blown training facility.
The only thing close to a historical renovation is an ongoing conversion of a former County hospital into 68 market apartments. The full exterior had to be maintained. The resi market is either additions, add-a-levels, or tear downs for McMansions. Yes, they are still building them, and selling.
