After my first week I can say the shipyard is BIG, complex and manufactures the most interesting end products Ive ever worked on.

That seems to be all i can say. Even that may be too much.

Hope it pays well.

Thanks Bruce, I hope so too. Its a decent base salary. With the anticipared paid overtime, it could be awesome.

Enormous military projects have their own vibe. Once acclimated to the restrictions and security Ill be fine.

The work here will surely hold my full attention and mental capacity for however long this contract.lasts. Could be years.

Who knows?

My buddy's doing a huge housing project in that area.

Downtown? Thats where they seem to need one.

The apartment complexes are a bit on the down side.

I don't know the details, just his son had hired like 75 plumbers.

Thats a lot of plumbers

It seems as though NN is importing talent in many trades. Or all trades.

Someone told me that the shipyard would be at capacity until 2050 ( ive heard that sort of estimate before though and its always exaggerated). The shipyard drives demand for everything here. It will be interesting to see all the spillover work and development here.

There was a long dry spell and now its time to catch up.

This is a very friendly, interesting and historical town. Its a shame ill be too busy working to explore it.
