Almost 5 months ago I took a leap of faith and accepted a job across the country as a carpenter for one of San Francisco's premier high end residential construction companies. So far, my experience with the company has been excellent as my academic exercises in fine carpentry and preservation have become enriched and put in perspective by the experience of working on several modern construction projects. I've bounced around between a few of the company's projects but but have spent the lion's share of my time on a remodel in Oakland Hills installing cabinets, trim, doors, and windows. The owner's were extremely pleased with our work and are thoroughly enjoying their new home.
