And finally… Viral video pokes fun at life as a construction newbie

A US carpentry labour supplier has posted a video below to YouTube in order to provide those interested in a career in the trades a bit of humorous insight into what the lifestyle entails.

The video by Minnesota-based Carpentry Contractors Company, titled ‘Framing Houses in Minnesota’, has garnered nearly a quarter of a million views.

Over the course of the video comedian Mike Earley describes the jarring transition into a construction career, the personalities you meet along the way and all the physical tolls like the sharts and “that laugh people do when they almost die”.

Despite Earley’s deadpan delivery, the video is also suprisingly informative about getting into the trades as the industry hopes to infuse younger blood in the coming years.
