<div>Hi All, I am one of the FEW (Female Electrical Workers) out of Oregon. I am 8 years old and am also an instructor with the apprenticeship here. <br/> <br/>Just wanted to say Hi and that I am always jazzed to see other women on the construction jobs I hit. We started a weekly get together with other female electricians, plumbers, fitters, carpenters, sheetmetal workers and iron workers at the last job I was at in Springfield, Oregon. We needed that time, if nothing else, just to vent to each other. Some times we talked of outside interests to take our mind off of the job and it's frustrations. <br/> <br/>We got to stick together, in spirit if not in reality. <br/> <br/>Good luck, keep up the good work. <br/> <br/>Suryana (Teresa)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Just found this tribe in a sort of unrelated browse and am really surprised and pleased!! I'm an over the road truckdriver and have been for 10 years. I really want to learn how to operate heavy equipment too - eventually my partner and I want to go into building straw bale houses. Anyone out there doing heavy equip? Any tips about training and or jobs?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I am laying a new walk way. I'd like to color the cement. How do I do this? I have learned how to put stones in, but not the color. I have seen colored cement, is it in the mix or painted on top? <br/> <br/>I would be grateful for any advice. <br/> <br/>Judith</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Blue Star Builders is a group of skilled trades-women who wish to help rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Our goal is to rebuild the homes (using “green building” techniques)of two older, lesbian women of New Orleans—women who have lost everything in recent Gulf Coast disaster. Blue Star Builders was founded by two women from the California Bay Area and consists of concerned members of the gay community from throughout the United States. Every member of our crew will volunteer their skills and time. All money for, and materials donated to, this effort will be put directly in to covering the costs of this project. <br/>If you are interested in joining the BSB team in any aspect please email us at bluestarbuilders@gmail.com <br/> <br/>thanks! <br/>Jes Muse <br/>Head Handy Dandy &amp; Co-Founder</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hello Ladies... the amount of women in construction here at tribe is discouraging, to say the least. <br/> <br/>I arrived in Kuparuk, Alaska two weeks ago to do prelim topo surveys for use in designing seasonal ice roads here on the North Slopes of Alaska, and one permanent gravel road to Nuiqsut. This would essentially connect the village of Nuiqsut to Fairbanks, Alaska (by way of more than 1,000 miles...:) <br/> <br/>Very good gig, happy to be back up north. Also, very happy not to be working in the field anymore!!! <br/> <br/>I posted some pictures in our tribe photo album, check them out. <br/> <br/>How are everyone else's projects going? Where are you now, and what is your foresight for winter work?? <br/> <br/>...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>My uncle Mike is a Raccoon rescuer now, I stayed at my property this weekend in Willow River and helped him out on his. He build this huge, amazing cage: the size of a human bird cage. I learned how+what to feed them/changing litter boxes+hygene/general care and will be assisting Mike this winter. He wanted to release them next month, but doesn't feel that they'll make it on their own, it's better to release them in spring so they don't face a hard winter right off the bat. I sat in the cage for a couple hours in the middle of the night (they're nocturnal) and they seemed to like me right away. Mike said they don't go to anyone else but him, and they were all over me. SHARP claws, you have to be thick skinned (literally) to work w/them. They go through your pockets and steal your shit, I learned not to bring my lighter in there! Raccoons are very hygenic. They wash their hands before they touch their food, then they wash their food (they scrub their veggies+wash dog biscuits and chicken, too) and when they are finished eating they rinse thier hands off. The click+hiss at you if they take in piss and you don't change the newspaper in the litter box right away. It's a lot of work, you have to stay on top of it. I am an official volunteer for the State of MN now, and am called a "novice" for the first two years. I don't know if I'll get seriously into Raccoons and then move on to saving other wildlife: waterfoul sounds cool. Birds are neat, so we'll see.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://WomeninConstruction.tribe.net">Women in Construction</a> - 1 reply </div>
