Oh, how nice! The carpenters and other workmen in this detail from a real photo postcard are posing with saws, hammers, and other tools to demonstrate how hard they've been working on the renovation of this house!
But take a look at what that other guy is doing!
For more information, see the full version of this real photo postcard.

Workmen doing some maintenance on the phone cables in Queens Street. One looked at me with suspicion.
All far too busy to be bothered in what I was up to.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Workmen clean the torch held aloft by the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Five workmen are attached to the statue by ropes, including one who is a caricature of Rockwell himself, and one African-American in a red shirt. The inclusion of a non-white figure working with whites, apparently only noticed in 2011, contravened a Post policy of only showing people of ethnicity in subservient roles.
The painting came into the possession of Steven Spielberg, who donated it to the permanent art collection of the White House in 1994. It was displayed in the Oval Office during the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. In January 2017, shortly after the inauguration of Donald Trump, the painting was still in the Oval Office. It was reportedly removed later in 2017, in favor of a portrait of Andrew Jackson.

A fantastic old photo of workmen from Gloucestershire city council dated 1894 on the steamroller, photo taken 1920s.
Inspired by "Lunch atop a skyscraper" of C.C. Ebbets. The background was photographed n 1997 from one of the Twin Towers in New York. The workmen were photograped in 2004 on a scaffolding, which was digitally replaced by a steel beam in 2008 to make the photo montage.
Some workmen were painting a temporary wooden fence outside the soon-to-be-opened Nickelodeon store in Leicester Square, London. I liked the way the cartoon characters appeared to be peeking stealthily over the fence and checking what was going on in the world outside.
St Fagans National History Museum
The Oakdale Workmen's Institute was built in 1917 to serve as a focus for social, educational and cultural life within the newly established coal mining community there.
The building contained a Library, Reading Room, and Committee Room on the ground floor, and two small offices for the Institute's Secretary and Manager. A Concert Hall, originally seating more than 200 people, occupied the whole of the first floor.
The Institute closed in 1987 and two years later the building in Oakdale, South Wales was dismantled and transported to St Fagans.
Why they are tearing up the sea-front at this time of year is beyond me. Rumour has it that they made a mess of it first time round.

It was a somewhat surreal moment, looking out of my window as a glorious dipping sun backlit a group of workmen on the rooftop of a house five hundred yards away. Silhouettes of British workmen, against the clock like a troupe of woodpeckers in my brain this last week with their incessant drilling, hammering and general armageddon like armory of noises as they replaced a neighbours ageing roof. And yet at that moment, silhouettes against the sunlight, I could almost forgive them.
....Almost.

She has to be restricted in where she can go to keep out of the workmen's hair. She just snuck in here through the window for a cuddle!
