I didn't see it either, firsthand, but the report had the phrase "arm fully skeletonized" Roofing seems like the bottom of the barrel of the construction world. When you see roofers get out of the van it's half guys who look like they just got out of prison and the other half look like chain-smoking 16 year-old dropouts. amusinginquiry posted:Its weird some people act as if buying a house you may not need or paying 1k+ a month for a small apartment is some sort of moral obligation Yeah, old people who bought homes when you could get a house that wasn't in the ghetto without taking out a 30 year loan.

living with your parents into your thirties cripples your social life and human development. it's probably nice being able to buy a new xbox when it comes out because you don't have to pay rent but lol when you're 35 and crying about how you can't figure out how to do laundry or boil water like i'm going to believe that millennials can't afford some lovely apartment with a roommate or two out of school. seems like it's more about staving off adulthood and responsibility for as long as possible.

They're always whatever I want to sneer at, too. I don't even know how that happens. It's very convenient.

Yeah, that and framing seem to be the worst/most dangerous, the latter because you're expected to put up 100 meters of internal wall within a very short amount of time, which leads to jigsaw shenanigans and nailgun pistoleros.

I miss when this thread was about silly pictures of people being dumb. Then again it was better than the three miles of scrolling for some dude painting words on a wall.

I worked alongside concrete formers for a few years, they're all broken men by the time they're 45 or so. All they do is wack stuff with sledgehammers all day and carry stuff, it wears the body down. They all smoke, they all eat poorly, they're out in the sun all day. Every roofer I've ever seen has been a complete nutter. I remember being on a construction site in Pickering in the middle of February, its 20 below and sleeting. I was in my truck having lunch and I kept smelling pot and realized the truck in front of me was just billowing smoke: two guys were in it hotboxing it, and it looked solid inside from all the smoke: the smell was from the little crack in the window. They get out after lunch and they're roofers. loving windy as hell, sleeting, and cold, on a roof? Ideal time to be stoned. Not like there's a chance of falling.

Dirk Squarejaw posted:A good sign of how millenials think is shown in the manufacturing field. A lot of the jobs we sent overseas are slowly coming back along with companies who never left and are growing. There are literally dozens of big manufacturers I've talked to in this region who cannot find workers to replace the boomers who are retiring. Some have had jobs posted for months and cannot fill them. These are mostly $35k-65k starting out with the higher end being maintenance positions. Also, many are air-conditioned and clean enough you could eat off the floor so it's not horrible working conditions. What are the requirements? This is yet another anecdote. If it pays that high its a little more than "place item into box".

Help a millenigoon out and maybe they'll move out of their parents' house. I got my house the old-fashioned way: inheriting it from a relative. BOOT STRAPS

This thread does a great job of highlighting the bizzare 30 and younger aversion to any kind of trade skill. Like, other jobs and careers exist besides STEM-somthing (except what you're really saying is IT or comp sci, not like a real engineer or whatever) or liberal arts. Or even just non-stem BS degrees like journalism or political science.

They all smoke, they all eat poorly, they're out in the sun all day. most trades are hard on bodies in some way. roofing is a pretty dangerous job, people fall off ladders all the time. Also it seems really hard on their backs & bodies. Also nobody ever gets benefits its almost always cash in hand work, no job security.. really crappy job. nobody to sue for poor conditions. all the guys you read about on buzzfeed who shot nails into their heads & legs & didn't notice were roofers. painters, too, breathe a lot of fumes. they're always at least a little nuts. the painting foreman where I work has this mad cackle like a batman villain. never met a smart painter. carpet layers crawl around on their knees all day. they have a special tool with barbs on one end, and a knee pad on the other. The barbs set into carpet, then they knee the pad *HRRRK* to cinch the carpet tight. Carpet laying tears people up. welders get cataracts and go blind in their old age. Plus they get to breathe the horrible fumes from all the rod they burn up (but they all smoke anyway, so) as an electrician i only have a little back pain from working overhead a lot, but people do get electrocuted. I heard through the grapevine that a guy I used to work with burned up his arm when he drilled into a live underground wire. he probably violated safety procedure but that poo poo does happen and we all shrug about it and say a thankful prayer that our boss isn't one of those "just get it done no matter what" assholes. plumbers have it pretty good too, but they sometimes have to touch poop.

Concrete support is mispoured, so he has manchild jackhammering it. Manchild complains of pain "It hurts dad!" over and over. Contractor finally gets pissed and does it himself. Gets the poo poo zapped out of him. Above a welder was using the rebar in the pillar as a ground.
