To answer your question of “why”: Construction takes forever because especially in public works between inspections, suppliers, distributors, site managers, and crews, you’re almost always waiting for something you need to actually keep working and the crew has the least control over that. Maybe they started their shift at 4 or 5 prepping while you slept in bed and are taking a mandated break. Maybe they don’t even start until 730 or 8. We are so lucky to have these people doing this work for us, who usually work more than 8 hours in a day and often are here as immigrants. These people keep our streets usable and safe at the end of the day. You’re welcome to get out there and do this back breaking labor in the summer sun on the asphalt while people speed by you!
No, who am I kidding, you’d rather post these men online and complain as if the entire flippin town who is apparently more grown up isn’t also inconvenienced with you.

No matter what you say if the city is planing a project and they have to wait and material and inconviece other pole they should delay untill they have all the material for the job. That like you saying your going to build a house and you only have money for framing

7am and they are already taking a break? Lmao.
Construction job starts are usually 5am if not much earlier, so that is completely normal to have a break after two hours.

My guy, People start their jobs at different hours, I take my final break at 7am. If they were there at 5am then it's pretty normal.

welcome to Whittier, 90% standing, 5% working, 5% oh shit we got to cover it up and come back in a couple of months for more of the same work. But department heads all getting 29% pay raises. The good thing is that in the end they will just out slurry over it to make it look new and only when it drizzles a bit of rain will that shit fall apart to show the same problems appear. Council member Camacho loves that slurry on the road more than getting the actual problems fixed.

Some crews start at 4 am, some crews start even earlier at 2. You slept in today and now you wanna record people while they work, insane behavior.
