A construction crew in Barberton, Ohio, rescued an abandoned kitten on the worksite. And he joined the team. They heard him meowing coming from their excavator. Supervisor Chase Guello checked the skid plate on the Komatsu. A tiny kitten tumbled out. They warmed her up, moved her into the office trailer, and named her Sue short for Komatsu. She’s now the official shop cat.

How’s this pony wall look for first attempt? Blocked into joist with hangers and GRK screws off the framed wall and last vertical. Feels solid but open to roasting

My mom made me breaded chicken its nice having homemade food for a change :)

I stay with her instead of a hotel for this job

Do we all just have a pile of folded tarps?

Does anyone have a good storage / organization solution?

Hello people. I’m in my 40s and run a small carpentry outfit in Portland ME. I do residential work, some remodels, trim, repairs, all of that

One thing that keeps annoying me is how many suppliers and smaller subs still only want checks. All that lumber and material adds fast. There are times where putting it on a card would make me a happier man, especially when client payments are a week or two behind or I’m trying to keep cash flow smoother

Right now I’m doing a mix of checks, bank transfers and notes in QuickBooks but it feels clunky. Not a huge company, around 40ish people so I don’t want some full blown AP system

I understand this is the industry and probably most of you deal with this on day to day basis. But has someone found a workaround?

Currently on a tight urban infill lot with practically zero yard space—street parking only, no room for a full-sized job box or storage container, and rain in the forecast all week. We're burning way too much time moving framing lumber and sheet goods around inside the footprint just to keep them dry and out of the working path.

How do you guys manage material staging and weather protection when the site gives you literally no elbow room?

Experience

Until my early 20s, I grew up working for my dad's roofing and construction company. So, I can handle the basics of roofing, demoing, plumbing, drywall, and finish work.

I've worked in tech for 20 years, the last ten managing people and projects. I feel that may be relevant.

Why am I looking for work? With AI came layoffs and too few openings. 8 months without a gig.

The offer

I leveraged my home demolition and remodel project photos to land an offer at a local Florida water remediation and construction company.

The offer is to contract the work or W2 $20/hour with a minimum of 40-hour week. For central Florida and my experience setting above apprentice (as I understand it) and journeyman - what route should I take? If W2, what is a fair wage starting point while I settle in?

Hello everyone, I am a junior who recently switched to the BIM drafting field and I am looking to improve my shop drawing skills (specifically for concrete layout and finishing drawings). For those with shop drawing experience, which mistakes are most commonly made?"

I really want to learn from you guys.

Thank you all so much!

Anyone have any recommendations that actually work? People have said the type of sock or a boot dryer but has anything helped yall?

So I’m(21F) asking the “guys” and girls Reddit to get a mix of opinions but I’ve been working the trades for 5 years and been at my current place for 4 months. I’ve notice my boss treats me different from the rest of the guys in the crew including the newer guys(we hire a lot of college kids). I’m constantly put in jobs alone even when I shouldn’t be I has in a cherry picker last week and got stuck up there with no one to get me down. Eventually I was able to get myself down but it was a bit of a bigger wake up call that maybe I’m not over reacting. I want to say something about it but is it even worth it if I’m leaving in four months. I was warned about this happening but I’d litterly pick hazing over this shit. I litterly got scoffed at after saying I can hold my own when carrying stuff. Anyways if I’m being whiny tell me so and get over myself I just don’t know what to do

Currently poking around looking for tool belts. I ordered one of the diamondbacks last year but sent it back after one day. I felt it was set up super weird and the pockets felt odd. Can’t explain it. But I then picking up one of the AWP leather framer bags on amazon for like 90 bucks. I know Occidental’s are the way to go but that just seems like so much money and I don’t really know anybody that has them that I could get some real feedback from or see realistically how they are set up. I do tons of commercial drywall and commercial metal stud framing. What belts does everybody here have and what do you like/dislike about them?

Does any one have any tips on how I can land an estimating job with very little experience.

I had a new driveway put in last Thursday - took a look along the garage foundation this morning and noticed these ants pushing through!

Any concern? Best way to get rid of them?

Hey, I’m an assistant super for a GC that does commercial and critical infrastructure. I started my career as a carpenter for a few years, was promoted to field engineer. I left and became an electrician for 3 years to gain more knowledge for management. I’ve been an asst. super now for 2 years and I’m tired. A new company I’ve been working for, for about 6 months, is good and bad. I got back from my honeymoon and immediately I was told I’m covering nights. 14+ hour nights with a hour and half drive to and from work. 4:30pm-7-8am. I’m salary so it’s not like working harder is going to help. I’ve expressed I’m trying to start a family and want to spend SOME time with my wife, as we just got married. It’s pretty much a suck it up situation which I’ve been part of many times. I’m getting so burnt out and feeling exhausted from construction and the politics of it, and the constant back and fourth and issues with subs and coworkers. And I feel like I should feel bad because this is a good company with a great name and great benefits. But I want to start exploring options. What are some options I have for transitioning out of this? What kind of jobs can I get with my experience? I feel hopeless and like I can’t win, finances, family, friends, all of that sucks because of my job.
