Confidential Residential documents one of my first crew carpentry jobs.
This job site was at a highly stylized Berkeley mansion. I came in at the tail end of a five-year effort to transform it into another equally bodacious and highly stylized Berkeley mansion. The owner's vision was strong. Less a family home, more so a show-house meant for high society events. The detail involved was impeccable if anything.

The project lead was helpful. I needed experience so I could get better jobs. I took notes and was able to practice a lot of punch-list carpentry and installation work here. Gearing myself up for more hardcore and more significant format work/job sites to come.
At lunch, we ate from the fruit trees in the garden.
There was a koi pond.

At this job, I'd realize the great opportunity to photograph behind-the-scenes building processes and remarkable moments in construction. There are many. Sometimes, it is a life-and-death situation.
Glory in construction is real and each trade has its claim.
The characters involved are all heroes.
