All of them

Well carpentry is largely mechanized.

@Fitzydog he's too autistic not to look

But things like construction, damn it pays pretty good.

Masonry

Hell, even welding to an extent.

Mechanized?

How?

machinery

Factories

Preconstruction

If @Fitzydog was memeing, he'd be calling you a girl and a soyboy

Ikea.

24/7

I’m pretty sure demolition of interiors and reinstalling walls and stuff isn’t mechanized

I'm pretty sure we hire Mexicans to do that for a reason lol

Well then that's not just carpentry .

Maybe carpenter isn’t the right word

yeah

it isn't

They also called themselves handymen

oh psh

Yeah, that's not carpentry

It’s a bit hard because they’re Spanish speaking

That's blue collar gig economy

Carpintero probably means something else culturally in Ecuador

Which would be construction

How big are their families?

Because you said they could't fit in their apartments.

Wife and one or two kids

Yeah the apartments are tiny

Pittsburgh as well I assume?

No

Brooklyn

oh

And when are they going home to Ecuador?

They don’t have the money to

Brooklyn is actually pretty expensive now.

So that'd be one reason right their.

Yeah thanks to gentrification

It wasn’t before
