Right now they're doing work on a bridge over here and every day there's either one dude out there doing nothin, or there's a group of dudes scattered about doing nothing, watching one guy work. It's no wonder this projects gonna take 5 years.

A lot of construction is exhausting. You stand around the hole and take turns digging. By the end of the day you're still ready to collapse.

Not only that but sometimes you gotta wait for someone else to finish their part before you can do yours.

I never worked construction but having worked on other large, multi-entity projects, I’m sure there’s a lot of “hurry up and wait”.

Yeah cuz it's just the one guy digging, instead of everyone
