Green Building 101

If you are curious as to what defines Green Building, here is an interesting synopsis of the movement and concept as described by NorthWest EcoBuilding Guild:

Greenbuilding 101

Northwest Ecobuilding Guild is a great resource for both the layman and the professional. I've been to some amazing lectures that they have sponsored and as a collective whole, they are a huge advocate for the enviroment. More grassroots/local than some of the bigger orgs like Built Green, and USGBC , yet still attracts high caliber speakers and presentations.

Community development campaign

Well, if you hadn't heard, Tradecraft Builders LLC is up and running. We have one 'major' project that we've completed, and our next one is due to start next week.

As a new company we are trying to build referral base. A few of my mentors have said "relax Trent and let the work come to you......" So I'm trying to balance that angle with passing out my card to anything with a pulse.

In the meantime we've been busy with a few community projects that are "building oriented". There are the beaver sanctuary street end down in Madison Park where I live. By my estimations we yarded out over 10 tons of detritus including blackberries, steel fencing, concrete, and beer bottles of various sizes. It's been a great learning experience and under the leadership of Gene Brandzel, the project is finally coming to a close.

We've also been busy out at Camp Parsons on the peninsula. This past weekend, we erected it an 800 square foot bathroom facility. We got the chance to work with some very talented carpenters. Check out the pictures on the Tradecraft Builders Facebook Page
