    The document provides a summary of a passage describing construction work being done on a house, as seen by a woman looking out a window of a carriage. It describes scaffolding raised around the house from the basement to the roof. Loads of bricks, stones, mortar and piles of wood blocked up half the street. Labourers were seen climbing up and down ladders and working on scaffolding. The document also matches job titles like glazier, foreman, construction labourer, cement mason and concrete finisher, and rebar ironworker with their definitions. Finally, it asks the reader to write the names of machines, including a concrete mixer.
