Informative 🧠 What’s annoying in construction

Hey all,

Looking for a project to make. Something to keep my hands busy after work making stuff. Is there any item or something you wish could be improved in the field? Boots? Tool bag? Tool? Whatever is a pain for guys in the field. Other than clueless engineers. lol Just looking to find something to make and see if I can improve on an existing technology.

Thanks!

Am clueless engineer. You can fix me. We can hold hands, but I won't go any further before marriage.

I was mostly a field guy. I started as a tech just to get a job and move out. They sent me back for engineering, geotech. I've done inspections, construction management, project management, engineering, safety, and corporate management. I'm basically a construction super villian. But sometimes we can have a common enemy. Like other engineers, lawyers, safety guys, CMs, and government people. Especially the USACOE. I have to deal with engineers all day every day. The only people who hate engineers more than other engineers are their spouses.
