BEHIND THE SCENES

A TIRED CONSTRUCTION WORKER


Mel left high school and dropped into a job in the construction business. Driving by a site on a warm summer afternoon, mel saw a young girl pushing a broom with a hard hat on. Her interest peaked and her spirit aroused, she thought ... ooow, yes i would definitely like to work outside and get paid really well ! Signing up, she was immediately offered an apprenticeship as a trim carpenter. This led to four and a half years in the field. Her "tour of duty" included driving heavy equipment and building and installing exhibits for the Smithsonian Museum in D.C.
