I've been in construction for over eight years, and I still find that every client job is unique. I'm constantly presented with new work and new ways to help clients improve their homes. This problem solving is why I love my job.Here is a photo of a job I'm working on this week. This is a hole in the concrete floor of a basement, where the client's home's previous owners had installed a hot tub - which has since been removed. My job is to fill the hole in, and make it solid, secure and even, so when we finish the basement, it doesn't sound like a hollow spot underneath the carpet.
As you can see, I'm building a wooden 'deck' or grid for a foundation. I'm then installing a double layer of subfloor, being glued and screwed to the decking.
I'm also framing, breaking open floors and moving teleposts, moving plumbing and drains, and adding in a laundry room.
This is a great example of how a small budget can make a huge impact on useable, living space for your family.
