Four months and no vacation yet!
By Arcadia | August 4, 2011
It’s been a very busy four months!!
Citybuild Academy 12 graduated and I immediately had to begin planning CBA 13. The Carpenter’s Union pulled out of the CityBuild program – I’m hopeful they will renew their support with us. It sounds “very political” on the reasons why they left, and as a carpenter myself it makes me sad! I don’t want my people to go! On the flip side, Maximo Construction is now signatory to the Laborer’s Union! Crazy – huh! I am a carpenter by trade but the work that interests me the most – energy efficiency - is currently being promoted by the Laborer’s! So I joined them instead. I may become signatory to the Carpenter’s………one day!
I’m enrolled in a Master’s Degree honors program in green building. So when I’m not staring at this computer I’m staring at a textbook. I just finished reading The Green Building Revolution by Jerry Yudelson and Green Building Through Integrated Design (same author). I’m now reading Design for Sustainability: A Sourcebook of Integrated Eco-logical Solutions by Janis Birkeland, whew!
The cherry on top of all this is starting this fall I will be co-teaching a fashion modeling class at CCSF – how random and how fun! Proving yet again that fashion and construction do make a perfect pair at least for me!
I gotta get back to doing some real work…..Ciao!
