Sounds like the big problem with construction is that the cyclical nature of construction makes the jobs completely unviable in the winter.

Is there any way to make construction in the winter more appealing/feasible?
- There really isn't. We build through the winter in Winnipeg and it's miserable. A union carpenter can make 100k with a bit of overtime though so some guys will keep signing up....but not enough of them.
