Welcome readers,

This is a project I've been meaning to embark on for a few years, but better late than never.

I'm a young construction professional occasionally working in Ireland's vibrant and wonderful construction industry. During this time I have inhabited and possibly worked in a variety of roles - general operative, delivery boy, truck counter, setting out engineer, site engineer, resident engineer, cowboy and tea-boy.

As I write, it seems Irish construction has begun to collapse around us, with bad news printed in every newspaper, every day. Perhaps this is a good time to begin documenting our times, along with my memories stretching back to around 1995, when it all began.

So this blog is a chance to muse on the construction sector in Ireland, my experiences past, present and future, and various misguided observations on the world and it's atmosphere, land and oceans, the global economy and the day-to-day lives of those who wear yellow jackets to make a living.

Enjoy!
