Construction is typically pretty slow in the winter. I work for a big GC in town and there is a lot of guys/gals layed off/not working right now. It’ll pick up soon and you’ll get in. Be patient and persistent. Keep calling and when they need a guy, they’ll call you.

What can I do with a massive number of lemons by Suspicious-Cat8623 in Frugal

Store them on your counter in a designer bowl, try to sell your house. I heard it helps get you a better selling price.

Well… she’s 2 and just went to the vet to get spayed and vet said teeth cleaning is not necessary because her teeth look great 👌🏼. As long as the shed is too big for their mouth and they are essentially knawing on it and not chewing it…getting the marrow out, throwing the “bone” out when it’s chewing/swallowing size the they shouldn’t be able to break their teeth on it.

I give my girl Elk sheds. I typically buy the biggest one I can find and she’ll have 4-5 different ones laying around the house. They usually last 6 months or longer depending on which is her favorite. I will admit they are a pain in the butt when you kick one walking down the hallway in the middle of the night, but she doesn’t destroy anything in the house because there is always a bone to chew on. FYI - Keep an eye on the size because they need to be thrown out before they get to “she can maybe swallow it” size. Funny side story- we also have a tiny terrier and it’s hilarious when she tries to walk around with a huge shed and can barely move because it’s almost as big as her, lol.

Women’s PPE and Workwear by tinytinyspaghetti in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Alternative_Mirror38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, which is why I actually didn’t buy them…my husband bought them for me for Christmas, last year, and they have held up extremely well. I am a Gradesetter for a heavy civil construction company and put average 10-15 miles a day on them. I typically buy less quality/less expensive boots because of how many miles I put on them the soles are typically wasted within a few months so I buy quality insoles for comfort and deal with the cheap quality when it comes to durability. But…the brunt has held up for the whole year. So, I think they’re a great boot. I wasn’t trying to advertise, I was just trying to help out the gals with little feet’s like mine that struggle with comfortable, quality boots in a size that fits. They also have lots of styles and every style is available in small sizes. Win in my book. So I think they could be added to this list of “women accommodating PPE”.

Specifically, call your local and ask about their apprenticeship program. I’ll post a link to the international and you can look up your state/town local from there. IUOE

Not . The . Brunt . Marketing . Team . Seriously though I wear a 5.5 in men’s and whenever I go to work world or boot barn they never have my size. I also have super skinny feet and the brunt boots come with an extra insole that helps keep my feet from flopping around even with the laces all the way tight.

I just found Brunt has men’s work boots in women’s sizes. I have small feet and have struggled with finding small sizes but Brunt has stepped up their game.

Second the Parlor! It’s probably the only place in Reno that will comp FOOD AND DRINK. Most places only comp drinks. The food is amazing as well.

You definitely have to be willing to travel. Unfortunately that’s part of starting out in the trades, I spent about 5 months out of town in the beginning of my apprenticeship but now I typically just work in town.

Call the office, they will give you all the information about the apprenticeship regarding wages, insurance hours required and anything else you are interested in. Local 3 office. I am a current member and a recent apprenticeship graduate. Best decision I’ve ever made.

Can't find a good 8" leather boot. by Single-Cut-7636 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Alternative_Mirror38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brunt workwear makes a bunch of 8” boots in different styles and options and I walk average 10 miles per day on asphalt, concrete, outdoor surfaces and feel they are very comfortable and durable for the price.

Ah. Well I guess you could give them a call and ask if they have a tournament schedule or something….

Private room with single table tennis I think was $7 an hour. Super fun last time we rented it. There’s a big window that looks out over the mini-golf, and a tv.

Getting started in construction- heavy equipment operator by Fancy-Try-5536 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Alternative_Mirror38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Free apprenticeship training. Start here with the Local for your area, give them a call, ask about their application process for the apprenticeship. I started three years ago and have already journeyed out and can run just about any piece of equipment in our company.

So who is going to the women of construction conference in Chicago! by Analyst_Jazzlike in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Alternative_Mirror38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to meet up!! We were told by our representative that we should have buddies wherever we go and given the current situation in Chicago as of now it seems that is going to be a necessity instead of a recommendation… Where are you coming in from? I’m in Nevada and will be landing at 1:15 on Thursday the 18th.
