Those episodes of South Park where all the handymen were living like kings and all the college educated douches were getting replaced with ai summed it up pretty well

Making stairs is one of the most skillful jobs from a carpenters point of view. At least do said my grandad, who was a carpenter (he made stairs).

Hanging a door is the one that pisses me off. I can build fine furniture, build fine staircases, whatever you need. But hanging a door is a nightmare.

My grandad might be biased, fwiw

It’s very easy to make shitty stairs

The tricky part, I am told, is ensuring every step is the same height

where’s the fun in that? Make the last step a little bit shorter or higher!

When they say they want the housing market to collapse, I don’t think this is what they meant.

OP said this was a commercial build, nothing to do with the housing market 🫠

They didn’t have stairs in 0bce, silly. Just ladders and ramps. No fossils of stairs have been discovered that date back to before the Ottoman Empire.

Can you even buy a house with $40 an hour today?

“Google it and build it” probably took 4 weeks of work lol.
I wouldn’t say its that shrimple, but ok.SippyCup@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
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.
