A blue collar worker, doing blue collar work. We don't often think about it, but if it wasn't for construction workers we would still be living in caves. It is people like this worker who have (literally) built the country we live in today. After all, our houses, streets, and buildings didn't build themselves!

Apparently, in shoe factories in China, it takes two hundred pairs of hands to make a running shoe. Cutters stamp sheets of fabric to form soles, stitchers then sew them together along with logos, shoelace eyelets etc, followed by sole workers who use an infrared oven to glue the soles and frame together. Assemblers will, of course, further assemble the various parts into a final product and finishers will do a quality check and pack. (“Factory Girls”, Leslie Chang, 2009)
So much labor and so many man-hours. A never-ending supply chain that envelops an entire country.
How many pairs of shoes does a construction worker go through in his work-life time? I wonder.
Not much room for error there. A moment off balance could suddenly lead to lifetime injuries or death. If the developer weren’t so cheap he might let this worker use a cherry picker (small folding crane with controls for the worker in the bucket at the end, used by all the power line workers). iPhone 8+ photo.
Anyone living in Bracknell is well aware of the town centre regeneration which is taking place. Our new town will be ready next autumn.
Much has been said about the new buildings and shops but very little about the huge army of builders, construction workers, electricians, plumbers and labourers who are actually putting the pieces in place.
This image is the first of a set I intend to post about these guys - The Regeneration Men.
The Big Pour: a convoy of concrete trucks are waiting in line to complete the foundation in one big uninterrupted pour. They started very early and finished as the sun was setting.
