Boeing’s deliberately defective fleet of flying sky-wreckage

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TOMORROW (May 2) in WINNIPEG, then Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), Tartu, Estonia, and beyond!

Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured far from the company's Seattle facility, in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.

Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently plying the world's skies. Among them, sections 47/48 of a 787 – the last four rows of the plane, along with its galley and rear toilets. As Moe Tkacik writes in her excellent piece on Boeing's lethally corrupt culture of financialization and whistleblower intimidation, this is a big ass chunk of an airplane, and there's no way it could go missing from the MRSA cage without a lot of people knowing about it:

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-04-30-whistleblower-laws-protect-lawbreakers/

More: MRSA parts are prominently emblazoned with red marks denoting them as defective and unsafe. For a plane to escape Boeing's production line and find its way to a civilian airport near you with these defective parts installed, many people will have to see and ignore this literal red flag.

The MRSA cage was a special concern of John "Swampy" Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who is alleged to have killed himself in March. Tkacik's earlier profile of Swampy paints a picture of a fearless, stubborn engineer who refused to go along to get along, refused to allow himself to become inured to Boeing's growing culture of profits over safety:

https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2024-03-28-suicide-mission-boeing/

Boeing is America's last aviation company and its single largest exporter. After the company was allowed to merge with its rival McDonnell-Douglas in 1997, the combined company came under MDD's notoriously financially oriented management culture. MDD CEO Harry Stonecipher became Boeing's CEO in the early 2000s. Stonecipher was a protege of Jack Welch, the man who destroyed General Electric with cuts to quality and workforce and aggressive union-busting, a classic Mafia-style "bust-out" that devoured the company's seed corn and left it a barren wasteland:

https://qz.com/1776080/how-the-mcdonnell-douglas-boeing-merger-led-to-the-737-max-crisis

Post-merger, Boeing became increasingly infected with MDD's culture. The company chased cheap, less-skilled labor to other countries and to America's great onshore-offshore sacrifice zone, the "right-to-work" American south, where bosses can fire uppity workers who balked at criminal orders, without the hassle of a union grievance.

Stonecipher was succeeded by Jim "Prince Jim" McNerney, ex-3M CEO, another Jack Welch protege (Welch spawned a botnet of sociopath looters who seized control of the country's largest, most successful firms, and drove them into the ground). McNerney had a cute name for the company's senior engineers: "phenomenally talented assholes." He created a program to help his managers force these skilled workers – everyone a Boeing who knew how to build a plane – out of the company.

McNerney's big idea was to get rid of "phenomenally talented assholes" and outsource the Dreamliner's design to Boeing's suppliers, who were utterly dependent on the company and could easily be pushed around (McNerney didn't care that most of these companies lacked engineering departments). This resulted in a $80b cost overrun, and a last-minute scramble to save the 787 by shipping a "cleanup crew" from Seattle to South Carolina, in the hopes that those "phenomenally talented assholes" could save McNerney's ass.

Swampy was part of the cleanup crew. He was terrified by what he saw there. Boeing had convinced the FAA to let them company perform its own inspections, replacing independent government inspectors with Boeing employees. The company would mark its own homework, and it swore that it wouldn't cheat.

Boeing cheated. Swampy dutifully reported the legion of safety violations he witnessed and was banished to babysit the MRSA, an assignment his managers viewed as a punishment that would isolate Swampy from the criminality he refused to stop reporting. Instead, Swampy audited the MRSA, and discovered that at least 420 defective aviation components had gone missing from the cage, presumably to be installed in planes that were behind schedule. Swampy then audited the keys to the MRSA and learned that hundreds of keys were "floating around" the Charleston facility. Virtually anyone could liberate a defective part and install it into an airplane without any paper trail.

Swampy's bosses had a plan for dealing with this. They ordered Swampy to "pencil whip" the investigations of 420 missing defective components and close the cases without actually figuring out what happened to them. Swampy refused.

Instead, Swampy took his concerns to a departmental meeting where 12 managers were present and announced that "if we can’t find them, any that we can’t find, we need to report it to the FAA." The only response came from a supervisor, who said, "We’re not going to report anything to the FAA."

The thing is, Swampy wasn't just protecting the lives of the passengers in those defective aircraft – he was also protecting Boeing employees. Under Sec 38 of the US Criminal Code, it's a 15-year felony to make any "materially false writing, entry, certification, document, record, data plate, label, or electronic communication concerning any aircraft or space vehicle part."

(When Swampy told a meeting that he took this seriously because "the paperwork is just as important as the aircraft" the room erupted in laughter.)

Swampy sent his own inspectors to the factory floor, and they discovered "dozens of red-painted defective parts installed on planes."

Swampy blew the whistle. How did the 787 – and the rest of Boeing's defective flying turkeys – escape the hangar and find their way into commercial airlines' fleets? Tkacik blames a 2000 whistleblower law called AIR21 that:

creates such byzantine procedures, locates adjudication power in such an outgunned federal agency, and gives whistleblowers such a narrow chance of success that it effectively immunizes airplane manufacturers, of which there is one in the United States, from suffering any legal repercussions from the testimony of their own workers.

By his own estimation, Swampy was ordered to commit two felonies per week for six years. Tkacik explains that this kind of operation relies on a culture of ignorance – managers must not document their orders, and workers must not be made aware of the law. Whistleblowers like Swampy, who spoke the unspeakable, were sidelined (an assessment by one of Swampy's managers called him "one of the best" and finished that "leadership would give hugs and high fives all around at his departure").

Multiple whistleblowers were singled out for retaliation and forced departure. William Hobek, a quality manager who refused to "pencil whip" the missing, massive 47-48 assembly that had wandered away from the MRSA cage, was given a "weak" performance review and fired despite an HR manager admitting that it was bogus.

Another quality manager, Cynthia Kitchens, filed an ethics complaint against manager Elton Wright who responded to her persistent reporting of defects on the line by shoving her against a wall and shouting that Boeing was "a good ol’ boys’ club and you need to get on board." Kitchens was fired in 2016. She had cancer at the time.

John Woods, yet another quality engineer, was fired after he refused to sign off on a corner-cutting process to repair a fuselage – the FAA later backed up his judgment.

Then there's Sam Salehpour, the 787 quality engineer whose tearful Congressional testimony described more corner-cutting on fuselage repairs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP0xhIe1LFE

Salehpour's boss followed the Boeing playbook to the letter: Salehpour was constantly harangued and bullied, and he was isolated from colleagues who might concur with his assessment. When Salehpour announced that he would give Congressional testimony, his car was sabotaged under mysterious circumstances.

It's a playbook. Salehpour's experience isn't unusual at Boeing. Two other engineers, working on the 787 Organization Designation Authorization, held up production by insisting that the company fix the planes' onboard navigation computers. Their boss gave them a terrible performance review, admitting that top management was furious at the delays and had ordered him to punish the engineers. The engineers' union grievance failed, with Boeing concluding that this conduct – which they admitted to – didn't rise to the level of retaliation.

As Tkacik points out, these engineers and managers that Boeing targeted for intimidation and retaliation are the very same staff who are supposed to be performing inspections of behalf of the FAA. In other words, Boeing has spent years attacking its own regulator, with total impunity.

But it's not just the FAA who've failed to take action – it's also the DOJ, who have consistently declined to bring prosecutions in most cases, and who settled the rare case they did bring with "deferred prosecution agreements." This pattern was true under Trump's DOJ and continued under Biden's tenure. Biden's prosecutors have been so lackluster that a federal judge "publicly rebuked the DOJ for failing to take seriously the reputational damage its conduct throughout the Boeing case was inflicting on the agency."

Meanwhile, there's the AIR21 rule, a "whistleblower" rule that actually protects Boeing from whistleblowers. Under AIR21, an aviation whistleblower who is retaliated against by their employer must first try to resolve their problem internally. If that fails, the whistleblower has only one course of action: file an OSHA complaint within 90 days (if HR takes more than 90 days to resolve your internal complaint, you can no have no further recourse). If you manage to raise a complaint with OSHA, it is heard by a secret tribunal that has no subpoena power and routinely takes five years to rule on cases, and rules against whistleblowers 97% of the time.

Boeing whistleblowers who missed the 90-day cutoff have filled the South Carolina courts with last-ditch attempts to hold the company to account. When they lose these cases – as is routine, given Boeing's enormous legal muscle and AIR21's legal handcuffs – they are often ordered to pay Boeing's legal costs.

Tkacik cites Swampy's lawyer, Rob Turkewitz, who says Swampy was the only one of Boeing's whistleblowers who was "savvy, meticulous, and fast-moving enough to bring an AIR 21 case capable of jumping through all the hoops" to file an AIR21 case, which then took seven years. Turkewitz calls Boeing South Carolina "a criminal enterprise."

That's a conclusion that's hard to argue with. Take Boeing's excuse for not producing the documentation of its slapdash reinstallation of the Alaska Air door plug that fell off its plane in flight: the company says it's not criminally liable for failing to provide the paperwork, because it never documented the repair. Not documenting the repair is also a crime.

You might have heard that there's some accountability coming to the Boeing boardroom, with the ouster of CEO David Calhoun. Calhoun's likely successor is Patrick Shanahan, whom Tkacik describes as "the architect of the ethos that governed the 787 program" and whom her source called "a classic schoolyard bully."

If Shanahan's name rings a bell, it might be because he was almost Trump's Secretary of Defense, but that was derailed by the news that he had "emphatically defended" his 17 year old son after the boy nearly beat his mother to death with a baseball bat. Shanahan is presently CEO of Spirit Aerospace, who made the door-plug that fell out of the Alaska Airlines 737 Max.

Boeing is a company where senior managers only fail up and where whistleblowers are terrorized in and out of the workplace. One of Tkacik's sources noticed his car shimmying. The source, an ex-787 worker who'd been fired after raising safety complaints, had tried to bring an AIR21 complaint, but withdrew it out of fear of being bankrupted if he was ordered to pay Boeing's legal costs. When the whistleblower pulled over, he discovered that two of the lug-nuts had been removed from one of his wheels.

The whistleblower texted Tkcacik to say (not for the first time): "If anything happens, I'm not suicidal."

Boeing is a primary aerospace contractor to the US government. It's clear that its management – and investors – consider it too big to jail. It's also clear that they know it's too big to fail – after all, the company did a $43b stock buyback, then got billions in a publicly funded buyback.

Boeing is, effectively, a government agency that is run for the benefit of its investors. It performs its own safety inspections. It investigates its own criminal violations of safety rules. It loots its own coffers and then refills them at public expense.

Meanwhile, the company has filled our skies with at least 420 airplanes with defective, red-painted parts that were locked up in the MRSA cage, then snuck out and fitted to an airplane that you or someone you love could fly on the next time you take your family on vacation or fly somewhere for work.

Museum of Surrey

Located on the Heritage Campus in Cloverdale, the Museum of Surrey celebrates Surrey’s past, present and future through innovative, dynamic and delightful learning, storytelling, and creating shared experiences. Exhibits are offered throughout the year that focus on the people of Surrey, community partners, current affairs and fun, interactive learning. Exhibitions and programs always relate to the residents of Surrey with subject matter that includes Indigenous learning, immigration, Surrey’s diverse communities, and sustainability. The museum includes a main building with the feature gallery, TD Explore Zone, Indigenous Hall, Textile Centre and Surrey Stories Gallery. Additionally, there are three heritage buildings located on the east side of the museum – 1881 Town Hall, Anniedale School (1891) and the 1872 Anderson Cabin. Admission is always free. (17710 56a Avenue)

BC Vintage Truck Museum

The BC Vintage Truck Museum is a unique little gem that celebrates British Columbia’s trucking heritage with a captivating collection of more than twenty restored vehicles set against gorgeous dioramas depicting the old City of Surrey. It’s the kind of place that’s as captivating for kids as for their parents and grandparents. Many of these vehicles have been restored by dedicated volunteers and as you wander past the trucks, it’s not uncommon to hear, “They just don’t make ’em like that anymore.” Many of the trucks on display haven’t been manufactured for decades and highlights include a turn of the century 4-wheel drive truck used to haul coal and plow streetcar tracks, a 1920s tractor and a 1930s Indiana. This isn’t just a collection of trucks, it’s a history of BC on wheels. The museum is currently open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm, and keep an eye on their social media for upcoming Show & Shine dates. (6022 176 Street)

Historic Stewart Farmhouse

Sitting on the banks of the Nicomekl River in Elgin Heritage Park in South Surrey, the Historic Stewart Farm is as close as you’ll get to experience the life of Surrey’s pioneers in 1894-1910. Listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places, this is the only completely intact farm unit from the late 19th century remaining in Surrey. And it’s no ordinary farmhouse, either. Few heritage homes of this age in the Lower Mainland boast such elaborate architectural details as the Stewart farmhouse. The grounds of the farmhouse are impressive as well. There’s a pole barn with farm implements; apple and pear trees; heritage gardens bursting with scarlet runner beans, roses, snapdragons, calendulas and sunflowers; there’s even an old Hadden crab boat – a relic from the oyster farming and crab fishing days of old. Drop in to the farmhouse and be greeted by a costumed guide. Tour the house at your own pace and we recommend exploring the park afterwards. Guided tours are available at various times.

Very excited to finally tell you what's kept us so busy recently: I’ve had the unique honor of directing/creating the first-ever tour visuals for one of the greatest live rock bands of our generation and a hugely formative part of my Seattle youth: Pearl Jam.

I haven’t worked in tour production/design since NIN 2014, but I always said I would go back to it one day if the right artist and the right creative connection came around. There’s a short list of musicians I’d drop everything and rewire a year of my family’s entire life to make art with, and Eddie Vedder is absolutely one of them.

Ed and I hit it off immediately and discussed an inspiring, experimental approach to creating textural video art inspired by the Dark Matter theme using decidedly tactile and analog methods, with the the album’s light-painted artwork as a jumping off point (I wasn’t involved in the album art / promotions, that was all underway when I came on board). My wife and collaborator Steph, who produced the project, set up a raw studio space here in Tacoma and assembled a lean local camera crew, and we spent two months filming in the experimental, open-ended, DIY style that I like to work. With macro lenses and the 1000fps Ember slow-motion camera (made by fantastic local Washington company Freefly), we followed paths of inspiration through elements and states of matter: Light refractions, chemical reactions, fluid dynamics, incandescent projections (including an old overhead projector that ended up in the show) and other experimental setups tracing the connective tissue of the universe. It was prolific and intense, and wouldn’t have been possible without Steph’s rapid problem-solving and a talented camera, animation, and post-prod team.

A grueling month of editing/programming/rehearsals later, the Dark Matter world tour is out on the road now, with two shows under our belt in Vancouver last weekend.

I’ll have a lot more to say about this production, the unique analog practical VFX we employed, and of course videos to share as more people start to see the shows and I maybe get ten seconds to breathe. For now, I’m off to Portland - show number three is tonight!

I'm not going to defend Seb for being a hypocrite--he is one and there's no excuse for it.

But I love his shirt and his helmet. It's made all the right people mad. The kinds of things that they are saying is so revealing. All of them are focused on calling him a shitty person. Not a single one can defend tar sands extraction. I first read about this about ten years ago, and more than ever Canada's energy policy and industry is important. Canada contains hydrocarbon reserves that are vast enough to bust the world's carbon budget entirely.

Open the cut for more.

I want to say, I don't agree with all of Sebastian's actions, but Canada's politicians owe Canada something that he doesn't.

Canada as a country should be deeply familiar with hypocrisy. Vancouver is a 'green city' while being the headquarters of more than 8000 mining companies. Last month a Vancouver-based mining company, Trevali, received a lot of attention because of a mine collapse in Burkina Faso that left 8 miners trapped underground. Such violations, both of the environment and human rights, are far more common than Canadians realise.

While I hope that this doesn't paint environmentalists as a bunch of out-of-touch elitists (of course they will try... as opposed to the hard working blue collar miners). But I also love that as a person in an indefensible profession, with great visibility, he has done this.

No matter how respectable or non-hypocritcal environmentalists are people find a way to ignore them or brush them aside. I was a vegan for a long time, I don't have a car, I rarely fly, take public transport everywhere. When I tried to talk to people about these kinds of things, first they would try to find out if I was doing something hypocritical (ie. participating in society by using the internet, eating meat and using a car). I told them I was vegan (the typical canned response is, haha how do you know someone is vegan--they'll tell you! teehee), I don't have a car (how would you get around then), I use public transport (LIAR! yes really people find it totally unbelievable I don't live a Texas-like wasteland of traffic and highways amazing).

There's not much time left. I wish that activists in all kinds of movements, for labour rights, environment, indigenous rights didn't get held to higher standard than people holding up the status quo. But it's always been like that.

Rent Film Props in Vancouver: Enhance Your Set with Authentic Props

Lights, camera, action! If you're a filmmaker or involved in the world of film production, then you know how important it is to have authentic props on set. Whether it's a vintage car or antique furniture piece, having the right prop can make all the difference in bringing your vision to life. But where can you find these items? Look no further than Vancouver Film Props Rental! With an extensive collection of cleared art for film and other unique pieces available for rent, we'll help take your project to the next level.

What kind of props are available for rent?

Are you looking for vintage furniture pieces to enhance your set design? Or perhaps you need period-specific items, such as antique radios or telephones, to transport your audience back in time. From modern-day office supplies to medieval weaponry, we have it all.

Our cleared art for film collection is particularly popular among filmmakers. We understand the importance of having authentic artwork on set and offer a wide range of styles and genres. Whether you're looking for contemporary pieces or classic paintings from renowned artists, our selection will help elevate the visual appeal of your project.

No matter what type of prop you need for your project, Vancouver Film Props Rental has got you covered!

How to choose the right props for your project

When picking out props for your film production, it's important to consider a few factors to ensure that the pieces you rent will enhance your set and add authenticity.

Think about the time period and setting of your film. Are you shooting a historical drama or a modern-day comedy? The props you choose should match the era in which your story takes place.

Next, consider the style of your production. Is it gritty and realistic or whimsical and fantastical? The right props can help create a cohesive visual language that supports the overall tone of your project.

Another important factor is practicality. Will certain props need to be transported from one location to another? Do they need special care or handling on set? Make sure you select items that won't cause headaches during filming.

Don't forget about budget constraints. Renting authentic period-specific items may come at a higher cost than more generic options. Find ways to balance authenticity with affordability without sacrificing quality.

By taking these factors into consideration when choosing rental props for your Vancouver-based film project, you'll be able to elevate both its look and feel while staying within budgetary requirements.

Tips for working with prop rental companies

When it comes to working with prop rental companies, there are a few things you can do to ensure a smooth and successful experience. First and foremost, it's important to communicate clearly about your needs and expectations. Make sure the rental company understands what type of project you're working on, the style or era you're trying to emulate, and any specific props you have in mind.

Another tip is to plan ahead as much as possible. Many popular items may be in high demand or already reserved for other productions, so give yourself plenty of time to browse inventory and secure the props you need.

It's also important to read through the rental agreements carefully before signing anything. Make sure you understand all fees associated with renting the props, including delivery and pickup charges.

Additionally, take care when handling rented items during production. Some props may be fragile or delicate - treat them with respect and follow any guidelines provided by the rental company.

Don't hesitate to ask questions or seek guidance from your prop rental company if needed. They are industry professionals who want your project to look its best!

Conclusion

Renting film props in Vancouver can be a fun and exciting process that can help enhance the authenticity of your production. With so many options available, it's important to take the time to carefully choose the right props for your project to ensure they align with your vision.

When working with prop rental companies, remember to communicate clearly and effectively about what you're looking for. Don't be afraid to ask questions or negotiate pricing if necessary. And always remember to properly credit any rented props in your final product.

By following these tips and taking advantage of Vancouver's wide range of cleared art rentals and other film props available for rent, you can create a truly unique and memorable production that is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences.

Enhancing Your Home's Aesthetics: The Advantages of Interior House Painting

Whether you're looking to sell your home or simply want to update the interior of your home, painting can be an effective way of improving its aesthetics. Home painting is also a cost-effective way to upgrade your property, improve organization, and create a mood in a room. With these benefits in mind, let's take a look at how you can use home painting as an opportunity for improvement! Commercial painting Vancouver.

Home Painting Can Improve Your Home's Aesthetics

Painting your home is a great way to improve its aesthetics and make it more attractive. The first thing that most people think of when they're considering interior house painting is how it can change the look of their space, but there are other reasons why this type of renovation should be considered as well.

Paint can make rooms look bigger by adding color and contrast, which makes them seem larger than they actually are. This is especially important if you have an overly small room that needs some help in making itself seem larger than it actually is!

Paint can bring out the best in your furniture--especially if you don't like any part of what's currently on display in your living room or dining room! You might be able to find better pieces at garage sales or thrift stores (or even on Craigslist), but unless they're painted with quality paint jobs then chances are good that nobody will notice how nice those items really look until after they've been repainted at least once per year since being brought home originally.* Painting also helps create focal points within each individual room so visitors know exactly where eyes should go first when entering into new areas such as kitchens/dining rooms/bedrooms etcetera...

Home Painting Is a Cost-effective Way to Upgrade Your Home

Commercial painting Vancouver is a cost-effective way to upgrade your space. Painting can be used to create a mood in your room, whether it's relaxing and calming or lively and cheerful. It's also a good way to improve the value of your property, as well as make it more attractive for potential buyers when you decide to put it on the market in the future.

Paintings Will Help You to Stay Organized

Paintings can also be used to organize your home. If you have a closet, pantry or garage that could use some organization, consider hanging a painting on the wall to help keep things in order. Or maybe you're working on organizing an office or study? Paintings are excellent for these spaces as well!

If you want to get really creative with it--and who doesn't!?--hang pictures in different areas of your kitchen so that they act as reminders of what needs doing when cooking meals.

A Fresh Coat of Paint Helps You to Improve the Value of Your Property

Paint can help you to sell your property faster. A fresh coat of paint will make a home look more appealing, which is likely to encourage potential buyers. This means that they'll be more willing to pay a higher price for the house and might even be willing to wait longer than usual before purchasing it if they need time to get their finances together.

A fresh coat of paint also helps increase the value of your property over time as well as during its sale period; this is because most people consider white walls and other neutral colors when thinking about buying new homes or renting apartments/condos/townhouses (etc).

Paint Can be Used to Create a Mood in a Room

You can use color to create a mood in your home. For example, if you want to feel relaxed and calm, consider using soft blues and greens. If you want to feel more creative, try using bolder colors like reds or oranges. You can even use paint to help with concentration: for example, by painting one wall white, which has been shown in studies at helping people concentrate better on tasks that require attention span (such as reading).

The advantages of interior house painting include improved aesthetics.

Interior house painting is a great way to improve your home's aesthetics. It can help you create a mood and feel in your space that makes it more inviting, relaxing, or enjoyable. You can also use interior house painting as an opportunity to add color accents that draw attention to certain parts of the room (or even just one wall).

The advantages of interior house painting include improved aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and organization.

Hydrangeas, Violets and Roses

Pairing: Woosung/Hazel ft Babygirl and BM

Series: LOSTxGIRL Original Group AU

Synopsis: Hazel finally talks to Woosung.

A scream made Hazel throw a blanket over herself, eyes wide as two people stood at her door. Only they weren't her band mates, but seniors in her company.

"Good afternoon!" Babygirl announced proudly, "Get ready, you're coming with me,"

"..I have no pants on..," Hazel whispered, "What are you doing in my dorm?!"

"Eunji let us in," Ariel smiled softly, "We're also in the dorm above yours,"

Wednesday night was the night all Jin Studios artists got off unless they were on tour. Hazel had hoped for a night in, playing on her switch and avoiding the world in general.

"Let me see what clothes you have!" Babygirl grinned as she barged into the room.

"No!" Hazel shook her head, "I'll get dressed! Just.. out of my room, please?"

Babygirl had a massive grin on her face while Ariel was giggling, closing the door. Groaning, Hazel slowly crawled out of her bed, walking to her closet.

Was everyone in this company just insane?

After getting dressed and grabbing her phone, Hazel slowly snuck out of her room. Chaewon and Eunji were both sitting in the lounge room with Ariel and Babygirl.

"Oh your cute!" Babygirl clapped her hands together, "Very skater girl,"

How was ripped jeans and an oversized sweater, skater girl?

Hazel looked at her band mates, perhaps they would get her out of what ever green hell this was. Only Eunji looked away, pretending to not notice while Chaewon had a cheeky smile on her face.

"Let's go!"

---

This had to be planned. There was no way in the world that this exact moment hadn't been planned out by the girl siding beside Hazel. But how exactly did this get planned out?

"Hazel?"

"Huh?" She looked up, looking at Babygirl.

"Where you from?" Matthew asked, sitting next to his girlfriend.

Hazel swallowed thickly, "Um, Canada,"

"Canada?!" Woosung gasped, "I lived there for, like, a year,"

"Oh..," Hazel nodded slowly, "I'm from Vancouver,"

"I thought you were American," Matthew laughed, "Canada is cool though,"

Babygirl clicked her fingers, "Oh, do you speak French? Like Ozlo and Hayoon?"

Nodding, Hazel got a little bit speak scared at the way Babygirl's eyes lit up.

"I learnt French and Chinese," Babygirl explained, "Do you still remember how to speak it?"

Matthew chuckled, "You are such a private school kid,"

Babygirl poked her tongue out at him, while Hazel furrowed her brows together.

"I went a private school, too," Hazel whispered, "Well, a boarding school,"

"Ooh, what school did you go to?" Babygirl asked.

Hazel fumbled with her hands, "Um, Bishop's College School,"

Tilting her head curiously, Babygirl stared at Hazel. It made her turn the other way, only to be face to face with Woosung now. He had a comforting smile on his face.

"How long have you played guitar?" Woosung asked.

"Since I was eight," Hazel looked down at the table, "I taught myself to play,"

"Wow," Woosung's eyes went wide, "Did you paint your guitar too?"

Hazel nodded slowly, "Yeah, there's hydrangeas on it because they represent gratitude, violets represent loyalty and the white rose represents-"

"Purity and Innocence, right?" Woosung finished her sentence.

Nodding, Hazel smiled slowly.

Hiring A Professional Commercial Painting Contractor

Owners of large business establishments such as malls and hotels only trust professional commercial painting contractors to paint the premises of their buildings. They usually take into consideration the employment background and the level of experience of each contractor before considering them for the job. Since there is a huge difference between painting an entire building and small structures such as residential homes, they want to ensure that they will only hire someone who is knowledgeable enough about the various application techniques, appropriate materials, safety guidelines, licensing issues, and insurances involved in the project.

In most cases, owners or managers accept bids from three different commercial painting contractors. In this way, they are able to get the best deal by comparing the price differences and awarding the job to the one who has the lowest bid and has the capability of delivering the job on the target date. Accomplishing the task based on the provided time frame is crucial in order for contractors to bag the contract. This is because further delays will definitely affect the operation of the business and may even result in higher costs and expenses.

Ask them about their alternative plan in case the weather condition wouldn't cooperate on days when the painting process is ongoing. Things like what kind of uniform and safety gear the workers are going to wear are also very important.

Explore the Range Of Service by a Home Renovation Company

They say home is where the heart is. It's not just a physical structure; it's a sanctuary, a reflection of one's personality and lifestyle.

It is where a home renovation company in Vancouver steps in, offering many services to transform houses into dream homes.

The exterior of a home is its first impression. Refurbishment companies offer services to enhance curb appeal and functionality. These may involve landscaping, siding replacement, roof repair or replacement, window and door installation, and outdoor living space design. By blending aesthetics with practicality, they breathe new life into homes' exteriors.
