First week September 2011


The first job I started doing when I got to the site was installing allthread from the interstitial floor down into the rooms.  Like many jobs I've started since I joined the union it was the first time I'd done this and of course at the time I had little idea why.


The allthreads come down and of course are secured in the interstitial and then braced using adjustable aluminum braces.  


The ceiling grids weren't there the day I started.  It hadn't dawned on me to use my phone camera the first week I was there so these pictures were taken around the second week I was on the job.


Finally, the purpose of the allthreads is to hold this track.  A lift, I'll show later, lifts the patient off their bed and moves them into the bathroom.  This track is rated to hold and move 600 lbs.
