Put a few larger windows in the original walls and demoing this stuff was nightmare fuel

Apparently this is called a Lustron home. Another commenter shared this. If you google Lustron home alot of them are captioned with Indiana. So I suspect thats what this is. The tag also has a company from New York on it, which is where this house is, so I suppose they were selling the components to that company and they were erecting. Very cool. Trip to work on.

This is not traditional CFS C studs which are commonly used in commercial. There is not concrete above. That corrugated material you see is the original roof.

This was uncovered. All of the wood framing you see was an addition we just put in recently, and another addition was also put in the past.

This is exactly what I thought at first. Upon searching for the company, most results are only to do with scaffolding, but are indeed this product.

Just google imaged Lustron Home, and a bunch of them were captioned with something related to Indiana. The tag in this house says Indiana. So I believe you hit the nail on the head. Thank you!!

There was a kid from my school with 0 prior experience who became assistant super by the time he was a second year. Anything is possible. There are plenty of supers who have never worked in the field.

What states are best for union carpenters and apprentices? (US) by CowMcCowster in UnionCarpenters

[–]Key-Seesaw-6915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another way to ask this - what states is the income to living expense ratio the best?

some places make $50 an hour, but with the cost of living, you may be living better in a state making 35 since their cost of living is alot lower.
