LOL If anything, they should have charged me more for getting in their way and being a pain in the ass.
It was so weird... The village people used to come watch 'the mansion' being built. Sometimes they'd watch all day. It was fucking weird.
I ended up meeting a bunch of them and even put a couple of them to work long-term, meaning they got jobs with the contractors who worked on my house. There was a labor shortage when the house was built, so it just happened to work out that way. But, I'd hire anyone for a day who wanted to go around doing laborer jobs, like picking up cut ends of wood or fallen nails or whatnot.
Thats cool. I am sure those who needed work appreciate that
I figured it'd help my reputation quite a bit, and I believe it did.
I'd never had someone come watch something like that, but I was used to an audience. Just, you know, not while building something.
They'd come have lunch on my lawn. They didn't ask or anything, they just did it. Everyone wanted to see 'the mansion' being built.
I do not call it a mansion, for the record. I call it my house. It's a big house, but I don't think of it as a mansion. You've seen pics. Would you call it a house or a mansion?
It really does not strike me as a mansion, more a huge fucking house
