For a full year in 2013 I applied and expanded upon my knowledge of architecture and structures as a carpenter.  I primarily worked on a renovation project in the downtown Over the Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH.  The existing brick building was constructed in the early 1800s and was in pretty bad shape when we got to it.  The entire interior structure had to be rehabilitated and an extra floor was added to the top; this caused a lot of headaches for myself and the other carpenter on the project.  The two of us tackled the given tasks and constant problems that go along with renovating an old building.
