Frequently Asked Construction Questions We Barely Answer
People actually search for these answers online, which is deeply concerning. Here is our best attempt at being helpful while remaining slightly sarcastic.
Why are construction puns so universally terrible?
Because they take years to build up and usually fall completely flat within seconds of completion.
Can I use these jokes at the local hardware store?
Only if you want the underpaid employees to hide in the lumber aisle until you finally leave the premises.
What is the most annoying tool joke to tell?
Anything involving the word drill. It is boring, it is tired, and it will guarantee that nobody ever eats lunch with you again.
How do I get my site foreman to actually laugh?
Show up on time and do your job. That is literally the only joke they actually appreciate on a Tuesday morning.
Are there any genuinely good renovation puns out there?
Absolutely not. Renovation is a complete nightmare of drywall dust and budget overruns. Joking about it is just a sad coping mechanism for the financially ruined.

He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
I'm Umer. He's Gerald. I write the bad jokes; he handles the complaints (by sleeping). We created PunSpill so you have something to send your friends to annoy them. Read the full confession here.
