Working with the weather By Sandy Dunham, Seattle Times
For Julie May, of Burien, the path to journeyman carpentry began in a classroom.
She attended a program at Renton Technical College, then worked as an apprentice carpenter for four years before joining the union.
May's been in the industry for 15 years and has been working on the Highway 18 project for about a year, recently shoving big bolts known as 'shebolts' into bridge forms off Maxwell Road Southeast near Taylor Creek in Maple Valley.
'I never wished for an office job,' May said after climbing a ladder out of an excavated work site at the base of bridge.
'I'd rather work outside in the rain than in an office where I can't breathe.'------------------------------------------- posted 12:24 PM :: reference link ::
