STEM for Construction

I know Builders are great with working with their hands but once you get to the top;

Kerbside Recycling from Builders Sites

Just a handy tip -

I had a leaking tap outside where I am staying and I grabbed a free piece of small wood thrown out from a building site to help me tighten the tap - or if you need to grab a piece of wood to hammer a door back in place without damaging the door etc ...
