I watched my house being built. We'd visit the site pretty much once a week or every other week. One day we showed up, and all of the electrical had been done. Power, internet, pre-wired home alarm, panels, the whole kit. Plumbing was the same way. One day, plumbing. (It uses that flexible plastic tubing internally, that has to go up fast.) Did I see it being done? No. For all I know 50 folks showed up and wired it in a day. "2 man months". But, I'm guessing that's not what happened. The most interesting anecdote from this is that I actually met one of the guys that did the work. He did, at least part of, the internet wiring. Know how I met him? He was driving a dump truck delivering landscaping material. He liked the work better, I guess his family owned the hauling business. I don't know what he was getting paid to route CAT 6 cable, but, apparently, all told, driving a dump truck is better. |
