    A skilled carpenter can spit out a fight of stairs in a day or so. An unskilled one can spit them out in half the time. They’re not nearly as complicated as you’d think.

    This is still fake as fuck, construction projects are contract labor. They’ll bring in the tradies they need as they need them and then fire the ones they don’t, generally getting rid of too many people too early, rather than keeping people around they don’t need.

    Carpenters on these projects are generally finish carpenters, they’d be installing drywall and trim, and would be quite busy trying to keep up with the schedule.

      What world do we live in, where we can no longer trust green texts.

      Itst not totally unrealistic to have an apprentice on rough construction not doing much on site. I could totally see a boss sending them to build a construction staircase (open back, just steps) and it only taking an hour or two. It just needs to be good enough to get into the building, it will get replaced by real stairs later (with concrete).

      That said, this is 100% fake. OP has never set foot on a construction site

      The part that made me think it was fake was the workbench. Who has an actual workbench at a jobsite? I’m not saying it’s never happened, but I’ve never seen it.

        Workbench? You mean the warped plywood I put on the bags of concrete? Or the lumber sticking out the back of the truck, balancing on some stacked buckets?
