I don't know about those guys but I saw about 5 Hispanic guys vinyl side a house in Mpls in a day and a half!
Not sure of the quality, just saying they drove away in a day and a half! 😳

In a similar vein...  (Forgive me if I've told this story here before.)

Several years ago my roof and my neighbors roof were being replaced on the same day.

I hired a local company who had a 4 man crew.  The neighbor had some contractor who employed a team of migrant workers.

As the job next door started, it was clear the foreman was teaching the crew what they should be doing as they went along.  After tear off, they started hauling the shingles up the ladder one bundle at a time.  :bonk:

Meanwhile at my house, tear off was rapidly completed and the shingle truck showed up right on time.  The crane lifted a pallet of shingles off the truck and hoisted them onto the roof, where they were off-loaded by my crew.

You should have seen the looks on the other guy's faces when they realized how unnecessary it was to haul them all by hand.  :doah:

:crazy:

I built a 26 x 30 garage years ago.  I bought all of the shingles and had to carry them up a ladder.  I probably weighed 160 at the time.  By the time I was done I was carrying half bundles and had some socks on my shoulder cuz I was hurting so much.  Never again will I do that.

Well it was kind of fun watching the Hispanic crew who did my last roof. Grab the power line and hang it on a tree branch out of the way. I couldn't watch. 😳 I told my son if you see that guy fall off the roof let me know! 🤪
