A little handyman carpentry job I did for Rick: Fixed the flow of water coming in during a rain storm by replacing the threshold and door shoe and by replacing the rotted jamb and trim work and then sealed it all real good

Here are some flashback items. First, on the corner of Torrance and Catalina is a building that I replaced a number of balconies with Houghton. I also worked on a kitchen in one of the units with Blues Sky West.
Then, at the development on the corner of Torrance and Vermont, I spent almost a year with Houghton replacing balconies, railings, fences, mail box structures, facias and posts, utility doors, etc.

I had done a drawing for these guys in order for them to get a permit for their sign. I was pleased to see that it looked just like the drawing.

Recently did a little carpentry handyman job for George, reversed the swing of the door from inswing to outswing. Could used more jobs like this and I think there's a market. As the man said, call me whatever you want, just call me.
The Krotz's house, a house I did some work on a long time ago-siding, cabinet installs, some door work, trim, moulding, pick up framing, etc. It's a throw back, but apparently my ADK days are over. I'm thinking that psychopathic weenie who drives the orange VW talked shit about me because I don't like him, causing a blacklisting-the younger guys were all just looking for an excuse to get rid of me.

Did a four month job with Jason at Universal for Chicago Scenic. This was the retail space at the new Nintendo World as you exit Mario Cart. Some heavy lifting here combined with cabinet and finish work. We installed about six semi truck loads worth of scenic and functional goods into this space
Learned a lot about a lot of things here and worked along side union folk.
On the whole, the village is a wonderfully creative environment that required the incredible skills of millions of hours of professional craftsmen to construct.

Worked another job at Disneyland for Adirondack Studios, for about four months. (We weren't supposed to take photos, so these are from the Runaway Railway at Orlando)
The work merges the crafts of construction and carpentry with theatrical and stage set ups, and is heavily scrutinized and inspected by the building department, as well as by Disney.
Some of the things I did there:
1. Wrapped steel stud framing with die bond in order to create false ceiling beams.
2. Installed heavy steel cross beams onto steel columns and metal framing using tap and die bolts and toggles.
3. Stood aluminum graphics off of steel frames anchored to floors and walls.
4. Did some heavy weight crown as well as some light weight trim, used t-nuts to fasten things to plywood, installed a decorative railing, and much more-operated scissor lifts.
