1) In panel one, the torque on the beam attached to the hook is about 25 percent greater in magnitude than the beam in panel two.
2) In panel two, someone has been playing seesaw with the other beam.
3) In panel one, the worker in the foreground is holding the plans upside down.
4) In panel two, the worker in the foreground is holding a treasure map.
5) In panel one, the construction company will receive OSHA violations for its failure to give its crew properly fitting helmets and shirts. Seriously, imagine welding something in that. In panel two, the worker on the beam will file a worker's comp claim when he is hit in the nose with his lunchbox.
6) So what's with that weird white background with the curvy line? Panel one depicts a levitating construction trailer with wires coming out of it and attaching to a barrel. No doubt there is a detonator in the trailer for the dynamite in the barrel. Apparently, the company has figured out that if it blows up the buildings it completes, it might get paid to build them a second time. I'm not sure why it's levitating, but my guess is that it has something to do with all the birds on top of the trailer and something to do with the construction crew's getaway plan. Panel two depicts a construction trailer sitting on top of a perfectly white hill, perhaps covered in ice-nine. It's comforting to see people rebuilding after Vonnegut's apocalyptic vision has come true, though one might wish they were wearing more protective clothing on a site still covered by a substance that could turn them to solid ice.

The construction workers in panel one are in the same karass.
In panel two, the construction workers are actors in a film called Hardhat Harry and the Quest for the Golden Loaf. Hardhat Harry loots treasures of antiquity under the guise of a slapstick construction crew.
Bird? Seriously?
The Quest for the Golden Loaf? Well, that would explain the treasure map.
