The other part of the time I'd help out the sub contractors with random work. Setting rebar, pouring new concrete, framing. Learned more there than any internship I ever had.

+1 good idea.
ive been planning to do that. i had some experience building in philippines with h-blocks and concrete but the way they do things here is just different. i do small things around the house but its really different. plus, building something while getting your hands dirty and see it getting done just gives you that satisfying feeling. my uncle used to work in an oil rig and he had many architects ask him how to put their designs together. lol
