A good cause and I could skip a couple meals lol. @sashcoinc Fam: The #SkipLunchChallenge needs your help! Roxbury High School's Structural Design and Fabrication Lab has a goal, and we want to help them get there. This is a great way to help support the trades and small donations add up to big results. Would you commit to packing your lunch a day or two next week and donating the money you saved on going out? Donations can be made via Venmo to @Morris-Habitat - link is in our bio! @mr_caccavale @roxburyhighschool @MorrisHabitatforHumanity @morrishabitat #studentbuilt #buildbetter#longliveourbuildings #studentbuilt #tradeschool #supportthetrades #skiplunchchallenge #buildingtrades #keepcraftalive #apprenticeshipisanobligation #whatsinyourwalls #tradeschool #shopclass #teachersofinstagram #woodworkingwithkids #stem #shopteacher #buildlearnteach #kidsbuildhouses #finehomebuilding #apprentice #builder #lego #shopclass #buildingtrades #futurebuilders #teachtheyouth #alwayslearning #smalldetailsbigresults https://www.instagram.com/p/Chx0hpsPvuz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

8 out of 10 us #UnionMen and #UnionWomen in the #buildingtrades wouldn’t want to shop here because of the 🐀 on the sign. The other 2 like the smell of the foreman’s pubic hair. 99.7 percent of those #rats get sexually aroused by imagining getting a #companytruck. Just my cynical view on the #constructionbusiness. @mattneely3 (at The Cheese Shoppe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRV4WIgfMe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hm8fnbhvtq3d

If anyone has any information on who shed all the bricks on the A143 on Sunday, between Brockdish and Harleston, please let me know. We thought we just sustained a blowout but the actual damage is just under £1300! Broken wheel, shocks, engine Mount, exhaust for starters. There is another car in the same garage as mine with two broken wheels! There are probably more in other garages. I am just so grateful that nobody was seriously injured or killed #bricks #builder #building #lorries #buildingtrade #diy #norfolk #suffolk #harleston #brockdish #eastofengland #accident #incident #cardamage #carrepairs #wheels (at Brockdish) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWtVVdGL9RJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our most recent kitchen project now completed for our clients in Chichester, what we did... From the design to the supply, to installation, two rooms knocked into one with steel installed to create an open plan kitchen / dining area with a unique island in the middle which also created a terrific breakfast bar. With ideas from our clients and our designer, we delivered exactly what was planned. So from the wall knocked out safely and efficiently, the steel was then installed and made good, followed by bonding , plastering, cabinetry fitted along with worktops, decoration, and then final finishes. An old window was also taken out and French doors installed giving a nice view of the garden from the dining room table. The choice of cabinetry was the colour daka from our most popular solent range with an American black oak wooden worktop giving it a real good country feel, we also used the worktop for the window seal and French door threshold so it all flows. The plinth lights really set it off! It was a real pleasure to work on this project #construction #kitchendesign #kitchenretailer #kitchenfitter #building #plastering #kitcheninstaller #buildingtrade #builders #countrykitchens #worktops #wood https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Vh8bVA_9c/?igshid=1qmz8i6za1atm

Avoiding Burnout in Building Trades Business

A fog of burnout surrounds you: You’re perpetually exhausted, annoyed, and feeling unsatisfied and unappreciated. Everything in you wants to quit your business. But is that the best choice?

Various models help to explain and predict burnout, which is now an official medical diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. One, called the Areas of Worklife model (drawn from research by Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter of the University of California at Berkeley and Acadia University, respectively) identifies six areas where you could experience imbalances that lead to burnout. As a business coach, I’ve seen that some individuals can make positive shifts in one or more of these areas and then happily stay in their current business.

Here are the six areas that can lead to burnout.

1. Workload. When you have a workload that matches your capacity, you can effectively get your work done, and have opportunities for rest and recovery. When you chronically feel overloaded, these opportunities to restore balance don’t exist.

To address the stress of your workload, assess how well you’re doing in these key areas: planning your workload, prioritizing your work, delegating tasks, saying no, and letting go of perfectionism. If you haven’t been doing one or more of these things, try to make progress in these time management skill areas and then see how you feel. For many individuals, especially those who have a bent toward people pleasing, some proactive effort on reducing their workload can significantly reduce feelings of burnout and provide space to rest.

2. Perceived lack of control. Feeling like you lack autonomy, access to resources, and a say in decisions that impact your business life can take a toll on your well-being. If you find yourself feeling out of control, step back and ask yourself, “What exactly is causing me to feel this way?”

Then ask yourself what you can do to shift this situation. Once you’ve considered these areas, you can then see what you can do to influence your environment versus what won’t change no matter what you say or do.

3. Reward. If the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards for your job don’t match the amount of effort and time you put in to them, then you’re likely to feel like the investment is not worth the payoff.

In these instances, you want to look within and determine exactly what you would need to feel properly rewarded. For example, perhaps you need to increase your prices. Or perhaps you need to take advantage of the rewards you’ve already accrued, such as taking the ability to work your own hours or take leave when you choose. Experiment to see which rewards would make what you’re doing worth it to you and whether there is the opportunity to receive more of those rewards within your current building trades business.

4. Community. Who do you work with or around? How supportive and trusting are those relationships? In many cases you can’t change your colleagues and clients, but you can improve the dynamic. It could be as simple as taking the time to ask others how their day is going — and really listening. Or sending an email to someone to let them know you appreciated their work. Or choosing to communicate something difficult in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. Burnout can be contagious, so to elevate your individual engagement, you must shift the morale of the group.

5. Fairness. Think about whether you believe that you receive fair and equitable outcomes for your efforts. For example, do you get acknowledged for your contributions or do other individuals get praised and your work goes unnoticed?

6. Values mismatch. If you highly value something that your business partner does not, your motivation to work hard and persevere can significantly drop. Ideals and motivations tend to be deeply ingrained in individuals and organizations. When you’re assessing this element of burnout, you need to think carefully about how important it is to you to match your values with those of your team.

Burnout isn’t simply about being tired. It’s a multifaceted issue that requires a well thought through solution. Before you quit, really think through what exactly is contributing to your burnout and attempt to make changes.

Doug Giffin - Unopposed for a Reason

He’s climbed the light towers at Wheeling Island Stadium. (Wait. What?) He’s learned how not to get shocked while tempting electricity. (“Shocked” is a nice synonym for electrocuted, by the way.) And his usual smile leaves his face when fighting for local men and women and their justice. (Let’s just say you don’t want to be on his bad side, OK?) Doug Giffin, a native of Martins Ferry and a former volunteer firefighter, is the newly re-elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 141 in Wheeling and that means his efforts to organized non-union electricians in the Upper Ohio Valley will continue for at least three more years. He’s good at it, too, and that’s because he believes every word he utters when it comes to the benefits of labor. Not only do apprentices not incur student loan debt that cripples so many, but they earn a living wage and are able to remain here at home instead of migrating elsewhere for opportunity. That’s why, to Giffin, joining a local trade makes all the sense in the world to those who lack dedicated interest in higher education. Far too often over the last 20 years have high school graduates flowed into college only to collect debt without collecting some sort of degree, and that is why Giffin is a staunch believer that it just makes sense. Maybe, just maybe, that’s why he ran unopposed. Doug and his wife, Renee. #belmontcounty #BrookeCounty #BuildingTrades #IBEW #Local141 #MarshallCounty #ohiocounty #UpperOhioValley #wheeling Read the full article
