OSHA 10 Card

Right now with little to no work out there it's been a good time to get certification for different areas in the Carpentry field.

Before I joined the Carpenter's Union, Local 470, I worked for a non-union company that thought they had a good safety program.  Their program couldn't even be called a safety program compared to the classes through the Union and Union companies that give their workers hours upon hours of safety classes.

This coming weekend I'll be attending "Best practices in Health Care" in Mukilteo for an additional certification.  Nobody trains like the Union.

Crown Molding

A good friend had helped build this kitchen addition onto a home and, after the cabinets were up, the homeowner wanted Crown Molding to finish it.

The molding had been purchased but was a bit short by a half an inch so my friend as me to see what could be done and if I'd be willing to do it.  I suggested bringing the ceiling down, so to speak, but placing 1x4 above the cabinets and then trimming the top.

If fit well and was a real pleasure to work with wood again.  A lot of things today aren't real wood but this Crown molding was maple and a pleasure to work with.

The homeowner aloud me to take these other pictures too so my wife could see the kitchen.
