It’s Work Zone Awareness Week! WisDOT is kicking off construction season by participating in this nationwide campaign to make work zones safer. There were 2,100 crashes in Wisconsin work zones last year. Let’s work together for a safe construction season! wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wi…
If anyone needs me I’ll be here all day
It’s time for the Masters! One of the few golf tournaments I can really watch and enjoy the whole time.

Going to try and get back to being more active on X! With the holidays and project deadlines it was quite busy. Also back to coaching ski racing part time so winter months are extremely busy trying to find a balance of getting to the gym, working, and enjoying life. I’m still…
This is really a great tool for all to use and it isn’t that complex once you play around and get familiar with it!
ForteWEB (by @Weyerhaeuser) is the software that I use about 95% of the time to design framing members. It is free to use and web based. One of the best features is the load/reaction can be linked so you don't have to manually keep track of loads from one framing member that is…
Are there any specific things or feedback that GCs and trades and Architects and Designers would like to see done differently on structural plans and details from your own experiences? What are things that you would like to see incorporated into a set of structural plans?

Early Friday morning thoughts. I’ve seen other people mention it but it’s always important to remember that the cheapest option is not always the best choice for your projects (or hiring your friends to do the work just because you’re friends). There’s a couple projects over…
Audio books for Spotify premium is a game changer. Definitely gonna try to jump back into listening to more frequently now. I need to get a list of books to get through. What are some must reads or just generally good audiobooks everyone has enjoyed?
