Default no welding but definatly a lot of fabracation

These are pictures of a 20,000,000 dollar building that is a new dining hall at middulbury college this is where i worked over winter break from college what a nightmare nothing in this place is straight or true.


looks like a UFO in the side of a hill



A celing suspended above a Pizza Hut what a bioch to get to


These are skylights look like rocket tails were framed and sheetrocked by my fathers company i dont even want to know what they were like to build.

This ceeling took two verry expierienced carpenters a week to frame.



Heated stair case



Launch pad?

sorry these are not car related but aneybody that has tried carpentry work will apreciate the work in that building.

Looks real good, very artistic. You would be suprised on how small 20Million is for commercial construction. but looks good

Thats crazy, looks like a lot of work!

Only thing is they probably wasted a bunch of money trying to look abstract, which isn't very cool
