The shaking from our pile driver was ruining his haircuts. We now start the loud stuff later in the day.
He always complained about the racket. Now he waves and gives a thumbs up.
I recently completed a job in a congested city area. My small team handled it smoothly, while I've seen larger crews struggle with too many people. What are your thoughts on crew size for precision work?
Walking my dog past the riverfront job every morning, the noise used to shake windows. Now it's just a low rumble.
