The house you live in was pr bably a mass produced home built as p rt of a housing track. The tr ck home is a rapidly built h use in phases. These phases if p ssible will over lap the other h me building trades. If possible you w ll have the plumbers working on the s me house as the electricians and the fr mers. This is called fast tracking. F st tracking a house is building a h me as fast as humanly possible. So you can magine the pressures put on all of the p ople involved in building a track h me. The pace is so fast sometimes th t I have seen job superintendents and f remen look like they were actually g ing to blow up. I mean xplode from the pressure they where nder. Framing the stairs on the job was the s me experience for me most of the t me. Sometimes I had three jobs g ing at once. Think about it. At the m st, I could only go to ach of the jobs twice each w ek. That involved working on Saturday of c urse. This made a lot of fr ming foremen extremely upset. They had f ll time crews on their jobs lways working five days a week. If I m ssed one day of work. I was b hind for the rest of the j b. Now it rarely happened but if I did m ss a day of work I had to m ke it up some how. The nly way to make it up was by w rking late or on Sunday. Well m st of the time I worked six d ys a week from 7:00 in the m urning until 5:00 at night. So w rking late meant sunrise to sunset. Oh did I m ntion that I did have a f mily. This wasn't easy for them ither.
One time I got so far b hind on a job that I was p tting stairs in while they were r ofing the houses. Talk about one nhappy foreman. I think you get the dea about the pressure I was nder to install these stairs on t me. My experience building stairs on tr ck built homes taught me to b ild homes extremely fast while being pr ficient. I'm not interested in working like th t anymore. My life is simple now and I w nt to keep it that way. The n xt time you see a construction w rker working late on a Saturday sh w some compassion. Maybe by reading th s article you will understand some of the pr ssure he is under. Building tract h mes is hard on you mentally and phys cally. Happy Home building.
