I saw during the lunch hour today that 6 workers from a local electrical company with 2 company vehicles were busy to replace ONE damaged light pole

too many workers and taking their time as well ,  comes from years ago - everybody dreaded the house painting event . One lot move the furniture from a room to another room . then they would sit outside while the painters do their thing . Then all wait outside for the paint to dry . Late afternoon a second coat is applied , but only if the first coat is dry enough  , The next day the furniture is moved back together with the furniture from the second room . etc etc . painting a house inside took about two weeks . and then the outside was tackled , and finally the roof gets its turn . By then three weeks has gone by
