This Week's Project

This round Sun 3 is working simultaneously on two projects.  Part of the group is trail building, what I was doing last week.  The other part of the group is working on building the deck for the house we're living in.

This week I was on construction crew.  Joe, the site supervisor the the construction crew is a Texas native, and a Native American at that.  He is full of interesting stories and we have quite a few story breaks in our days.  It's really interesting to hear a bit more about his culture and life in Texas.  It's also fun to learn a bit about construction!

Below are Ben, my team mate and Joe discussing the next step in the deck construction process.

My Team Leader, Nick, working on something.  We've been spending our days on ladders.

Texans are awfully proud of Texas.  I don't get it.

 We're getting there.  At the end of today we had all of the beams up on the roof.

Believe it or not, but I was actually up on this ladder with a nail gun nailing in beams most of the week.    

This week I learned all about framing, beams, supports, and hip joints.  Come July when I am jobless let me know if you need anything built!
