Construction and antiquity

Every Wednesday I attend construction meetings as we work to complete our new high school. Today I heard the most wonderful phrase today that made me think about both how little and how much construction has changed in the last few centuries:

"The tin knocker is working on exiting the dog house."

Yes, we have a trade on site known as the tin knocker, and there is a structure in place known as a dog house. I am learning a lot each week.
