A man in a dark sweater and trousers works on a wooden roof frame at a construction site in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1957. Shot on 8mm film, the footage shows him hammering wooden beams into place on a sloped structure, with a concrete foundation visible below. The scene captures a moment of manual labor during mid-century home building, with natural lighting and the characteristic grain of vintage home movie footage. The final frame shifts to two men in a wooded area, one holding a long wooden plank, suggesting ongoing construction work in a rural or semi-rural setting.
