		<title>Carpenters of Steel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earthquake Defense mechanical connections require a lot of planning. With the 2007 CBC codes addressing Earthquake Defense more progressively, we&#8217;re feeling more like Carpenters of Steel than carpenters of wood! The amount of steel in new buildings in California for seismic structural engineering is changing the way carpenters frame.

		<title>Super Wicked Awesome Cabinet Jacks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve hung cabinets a lot of different ways. With a ledger board screwed to the wall; ganging cabinets together and installing them as a unit; one at a time with a helper; one at a time solo. I never found a system that I really liked.
