Sadly, it wasn't an act. I knew NOTHING about construction when I started (I was a gopher...). But, I'm a fast learner and by Summer's end, I was installing door knobs and locks, helping with finish trim, pretty much everything but electric... They didn't trust me THAT much!
I was the "punch list" guy. I went around the "almost finished" homes, looking for problems. I could tell, just by looking if some molding was 1/8" off, or if the drywall wasn't right, or if something was crooked... It tapped into my OCD perfectly!
It got to the point where they told be to stop looking so hard! The subs weren't very happy with me...
To this day, I'll walk around the house, straightening pictures...
