Unlike pioneer families who cut down trees to build their homes and other buildings (sometimes with the help of nearby neighbours) today it takes many skilled workers to build a community. From heavy equipment operators to bricklayers and masons, skilled workers are needed to install electrical wiring and cables, hook up sewers, and water for sinks. Roofers, painters, window and door installers and landscapers were some of the many workers needed to build our communities -- the residential areas where people live, and the commercial areas where people work.
