OK, Clay, what your father is trying to do here is get some back-up for some kind of "fulfilling your end of the bargain" lesson or perhaps a good old "American work ethic" lesson. These are the "values" that have been foisted upon the American youth for centuries now, and while they have aided in providing this country with a wonderfully productive and profitable workforce, they have absolutely nothing to do with real or implied contract obligation, ethics of any sort, or satisfaction. The reason the rebuild project is going too slow is because it is going too slow. At least you have identified the root problem correctly.

A better lesson to learn, as it reflects more accurately this whole "work" thing, and also the true nature of American business, can be found in "Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.
