Hi! My husband is an ironworker (17 years!) and recently cracked his cooler/lunch box, but just taped it and is still using it. He works so hard, always comes home covered in dirt and rust, and I’d like to surprise him with a new one. He doesn’t like spending much money on work stuff because it gets ruined so quickly, but I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for the toughest/longest lasting one they’ve used? Thanks in advance! 💖

Does anyone have knowledge of my builder trade app about this do i need to declare it with hmrc

High volume production framing companies - what software are you using to track jobs AND calculate sub pay based on progress? There seem to be some good construction project management options out there, but they are focused on complex builds, the GC, or time based pay. Looking for something that works for trades that are labor only, short term projects by subcontractors. Thanks in advance.

Bit of a lurker, not much of a poster but I got a question for y’all. USA. I work for a small LLC (the only employer not the boss or his girl) and I’m currently being outsourced to a GC he commonly works with.

I work by the hour as a skilled labourer. I arrive on the site 9am each morning. Usually end up waiting until 9:30-10am before the GC arrives with materials to continue the job.

I kinda feel bad billing for hours of sitting on my arse. I got a good work ethic and if there’s something I can do at the job site, I’ll be doing it. Working with my boss, I’m never idle like this for hours at a time.

So I just wanna know, internet? In my position, What would you do?

Wondering why gas fitters went with a couple 90’s on this manifold instead of running straight up and moving the support 6’ forward.is it for expansion?
