 
Hi, my name is Shawn Ramey I'm
representative of Carpenters Union Local
494 right here in Windsor, Ontario.
And I'm Logan Kane and I'm the Local
Training Coordinator for Local 494.
And you guys are all here to join us at
a school renovation project that's been
deemed
a heritage building. You're here to meet
various carpenters and acoustic
technicians from two of the trades that we offer here locally.
How are you doing today? Why don't you introduce
yourself to everyone.
Good. Hi I'm Phil Treulieb.
I've been in the trade for 13 years. I'm
an Acoustic Technician.
We do all kinds of stuff like this
over here, exteriors, heavy gauge,
insulating, dense glass.
What are you specifically doing today, Phil?
Right now, we're trying to finish up
these parapets on this roof over here
so that they can get going on the roof.
Okay. What what other types of work does
an Acoustic Technician do?
Steel stud framing, insulation, door
frames, drop ceilings, all those fancy bulkheads that you see in malls,
and everything else, we do all that.
What is the reason that you joined the Carpenters Union?
I really enjoy working with my hands and
building stuff and
it's a great job, great opportunity.
I'm Logan Kane here with Steve. Steve,
tell us some of the challenges working
on a heritage construction site compared
to a normal build?
Challenges I guess would be the
materials a little bit more from back
then heavier timbers,
things like that not as much steel, more
wood.
I guess in the techniques that you
have to use, a lot of hand
sawing and things that
typically you can't just run a normal
saw through.
Right. How did you get involved in the trade?
You know what, I kind of just stumbled
upon it. Walked in one day to a job and
kind of liked building stuff and seeing
the end result.
I'm here with Dave Mayzik he's a Senior
Site Superintendent and Dave, what can
you tell us about this brick here?
Well, all this brick came off the
original building. It's almost
100 years old now.
What we see behind us right now is
they're reinstalling
all the original brick with a mix of new
brick to create the same look that we had in
1928 when this building was first
designed and first built. So, having
the mix
with the old and the new with today's
technology
and yesterday's materials,
they're blending it together and
bringing it back to the way
it did look in 1928.
Well, thanks for
joining us today.
We really appreciate you all taking a
tour of the job site and seeing some of
the various things that the different
carpentry trades do.
And we hope see on site.
