Union construction workers do a whole lot of standing around.

As one guy sits on a wooden box tapping on a cinder block with a hammer, four other guys stand around him and watch. This goes on for about 20 minutes. Then they walk back over to their truck and point at things while talking and sipping water. Then they all walk up and back taking turns pointing at stuff and more talking. An hour has gone by and now they’re back to tapping on the cinder block.

@MethDozer Oh, I’m sure it’s not an easy job and I wouldn’t want to be out there working in this heat. But the entire road has been blocked off for over a month and it doesn’t look like they’ll be finished anytime soon. Everytime I see them out there they don’t seem to be doing much work. I’ll be happy to drive on the road when they are finally done.
