Construction thread... Show off your work!

thats good hours, plenty of time after work for a life... we normally do 84 hour weeks so training is always rushed. this job is 50 hour week feels like im not even working
Damn, those are some hours! You are out of town usually right? I'd prefer that if away from the family I want all the hours I can get, not worth being away from them otherwise.

yeh bro im pretty much always away, exactly right i fly away to max out the hours. i nearly told them to go and get fucked but then i thought its a bit selfish and weak if i did. theres ppl out there with nothing that would dream just to have a job.. every now n then u gota sit back take a look around
 
Yo
u do get used to some of the products over time, we use k-wool all the time that shit cant be very irritating
U try baby powder? Some guys that are sensitive to the fiberglass swear by it. We only use a few products that really bother me. I am pretty covered up though, long sleeves, gloves, only un protected areas are back of the neck, and face

Is this in Illinois?
Why do they have to run conduit within the walls? I remember hearing only Chicago and surrounding areas require that.

We have some of the toughest NEC requirements in the country and don’t have to run conduit within the walls

No California, isn't in all construction but most of the commercial work I do has conduit in the walls.
 
You guys have the old school victorian's out there with the diagonal blocking everywhere? Those are a nightmare to insulate.
Yeah, you come across some fucked up walls like that around here. Luckily I'm not i them much or even at all anymore. Mostly commercial builds, but we get a school reno from time to time where it's just super old. See it in that case sometimes.

Horse hair plaster suuuuuuux! That's a fun time the first time you get into it. I though a mouse got stuck in the wall or something lol. I was like 15
