What's new at Concord CarpenterHi Guys,
This week we've been busy interviewing carpenters to join the ACC team. Unfortunately we have only have one position and have narrowed culled the list down to 4 good candidates. That magic questions is ... but which one?
Many of these guys work for other contractors on a daily basis and are treated as subcontractors, not employees with payroll deductions. It amazes me these folks are willing too risk huge IRS fines.
Employee or Sub-contractor?
Maybe a lot of folks are unaware but the IRS uses three categories to determine whether a person is an employee or a true subcontractor. They looks at the level of control exercised over a worker in the following three categories:
1. Behavioral Control
2. Financial Control
3. The Relationship Between the Parties.
Two weekends ago we installed an Endura Flap Pet Door for our Concord Carpenter Cable Show. This was a first and we were unsure if the dogs would use it.

The folks at DEWALT recently redesigned their mig weld hammer line.

Milwaukee M18 Flood Light
Everyone knows I love lumen.

in particular that I like is their Milwaukee M18 LED Flood Light

The Milwaukee M18 Cordless Multi-Tool Kit 2626-22CT is a solid alternative to the cord for a tool that usually sees light use. Read More
How to Control Remodeling Dust
As a remodeling contractor I learned early on that learning how to
control remodeling dust and keeping out of the non-remodeled portion of
your clients home is often more important than the quality of your work.
DEWALT 4 in 1 Tacker
DEWALT took an ordinary tool and made it extraordinary!
The DEWALT 4 in 1 Multi Tacker is an
aluminum frame, extremely lightweight and compact stapler with a super
easy to squeeze handle which provides the user fatigue free use. So
easy almost anyone could operate it.
Bosch Heated Jacket
Heated Jackets have slowly started
showing up on the job-site as a solution for the cold weather job-site
wear. I've been seeing them elsewhere too; on hunters, walkers, sports
fans and regular people just walking about town.
We recently took a look at three brands of heated jackets. This article will focus on the Bosch Heated Jacket PSJ120.

Installing Crown Molding To Metal Studs
Installing crown molding to metal studs seem to be the norm in more and
more condos that we work in as well.
Hand nailing crown molding into
steel studs does not work and using an air gun makes for a very
dangerous situation and installing angled nails just into the blue board
is also not a quality installation and will show gaps and separations
after the first heating season.
Quality More Important Than Price
Have you ever stopped to wonder why folks remodel their home? Or why
they choose to do a project themselves vs hiring a professional to do
it?
Well I think about this stuff a lot and I've always believed that
Quality is more important than price to homeowners when choosing a
re-modeler.
