Welcome to my Senior Capstone!
Welcome to my senior capstone website. This web page was built for two purposes: the first as a useful guide if you are interested in joining the field of construction, and secondly a source for future seniors to look at as an example of what a General Construction Capstone looks like and how its presented.

Why I Chose Framing |
What's Next In My Future? |
I chose framing because it's a skill I need to apprentice. Not only is it a step towards my dream future, but I honestly think framing is fun. I like working out to get stronger and with framing, or any other field of construction, it demands physical labor. It makes you physically stronger carrying the materials and tools you use and who doesn't want to get stronger while working?

After becoming a framer and becoming adequately professional at it, I plan on moving to a different field of construction. I plan on working in the Framing Field for 1-3 years, just so I have time to pick it up and learn it well. I want to acquire all the skill sets to build houses. My plan is to start with learning Grading and Site Preparation, all the way to the finishing touches such as Hookup to water main, or well drilling Hookup to sewer or installation of a septic system. I plan on becoming big in the construction world and this is the first step on that journey.

All the Tools You Need to Succeed
List of tools
|
To become successful in this field, it's not only the tools you need, but also about the mindset. Construction isn't a field for everyone, it's physically demanding, tiring and exhausting. Not only that, but you must be prepared to wake up in the early mornings and get dirty or possibly injured. However, with the right mindset, becoming successful in the construction field is always achievable. I believe being dedicated and passionate about whatever you do is what makes you succeed down the line.
