Looking At A Specialty . . .

  some Carpenters specialize in
• specific types of work such as rough or finish
  carpentry. However, in most areas
• Carpenters often perform all kinds of carpentry
  such as
• Finish carpenters lay out and install moldings,
  baseboards, doorframes, doors, windows, paneling,
  cabinets, hardwood floors, stairs, partitions,
  and other interior and exterior trim.
• Rough carpenters construct rough wooden
  frameworks for buildings install rough window
  and door frames, partitions, sub-flooring, and
  sheathing on outer walls and roofs. They also
  build concrete forms, scaffolds, platforms,
  screening fences, and temporary shelters on the
  job site.

A carpenter should be able to

• Solve Math Problems What is the length of the
  ridgeboard in a hip roof where the length of the
  building is 26 feet, the span is 12 feet, and the
  common rafters are 2x6's?
• Read and Comprehend Reading Example Double
  waler construction uses either plyform panels
  with vertical studs placed alongside the snap tie
  holes or framed panels. The snap tie ends pass
  between two walers. The walers strengthen the
  wall and keep it in alignment.
• Produce Writing Example Prepare a written
  estimate for a potential client who would like to
  have a house framed (the house is 1200 square
  foot).
