Tub fire!


While this won't make sense to most- One day some welding slag dropped down from the floor above which the firewatch didn't notice. It caused the tubliner to catch on fire, fill the floor with smoke and make everyone working on that floor look like a smeared goth tranny mess. Here it is, immortalized on the walls of the jobsite.

Reader contribution!


"So a friend of mine sent me this and I thought you might find some use for it on your blog. Just in case you have difficulty reading it, it says ' don't leve your garbeche here or we are goin to call the immigration.' Not PC at all and kinda ironic considering it was probably not written by someone who learned english as a first language."
Thanks NM!

Everyone's a comedian...


..when they've got a sharpie in the toilet shanty. Sorry I've kept it clean lately- this one goes out to those who like to be offended by the poetry on the walls of the jobsites around the world!

Attention local 608!


This doesn't make much sense to me, unless another carpenter was trying to say that all carpenters are hung like elephants.

Modern Day Michelangelo

Looks like Michelangelo was calculating the trajectory of a brick thrown at an unsuspecting victim who just visited the porta-john.

It's a joke that never gets old.

Contractor name Thursday!


So my friend Tessa told me a joke the other day, prefaced with a caveat, as it's not really current anymore due to modern trends in 'hairstyling'. Nonetheless, it's still hilarious.

T: What do Brooklyn and pantyhose have in common?
CG: What?
T: Flatbush.

Sound the bush alarm!

Yeooooowww!


Kyle Croc O'Dile from Keelay and Steez sent me this photo from 36th and 5th.
Yikes- someone's been eating too much street meat- easy on the hot sauce!

Vote for Pedro!

Constructon Sign Week


In honor of Memorial Day (and the short work week), and how dangerous the construction industry can be, I'm going to be posting construction signs this week. (Photo Location: San Diego, Photo Credit: SJ)

Happy Memorial Day


This one goes out to those have given their lives serving our country, as well as those who have lost their lives in any line of work.

Currency Graffiti


This looks strikingly similar to graffiti that we see on our jobsites, just a little more politically correct. This comes from CR in Maine- I wonder what illegals they're talking about- French Canadians? Who would roof the houses? Who would hang the drywall?! I'm not calling my senator!

Politically correct.


I wish I had a play by play on which graffiti appeared first. Would have been an interesting place to affirm your love for #41, pretty typical place to affirm your love for cuninlingus, amazing place to affirm your love for cannibalism!

The real Blago.


So Blago's gotten a lot of press lately, not for being charming and politically corrupt, but actually for being the object of construction graffiti! These stencils have been popping up all around the city of Chicago. I'd imagine if one of these popped up on one of my sites he'd have a huge cock drawn near his face within about 15 seconds.

Spellunking, anyone?


I can only imagine what type of conversation led to this fine piece of artwork. Maybe they were looking for Rod Blagojevich jogging in the dark?

A complete overdose

Of cock!

Sorry for the less than regular posting to all of you who count on me to offend whomever may be looking over your shoulder- I've got plenty of fresh new material but it's trapped on my computer at home which is a little under the weather- I'll be posting every day soon enough!

My guess is Jimmy belongs to the local14 operating engineers union. His day may suck, but that guy gets to laugh all the way to the bank.

Room with a view

I had a couple drinks at the Cooper Square Hotel the other night and knowing that it was still under construction, several jiggers of gin gave me the courage to hit the 21 button on the elevator. It opened up to a donut-shaped room where the closets and toilets in the donut-hole, with room for the beds and tubs (his and hers on opposite sides of the floorplan!) around the 360-degree wall of floor to ceiling windows. Amazing.
