Ryan the Intern (Week 3)

Week 3 is all about the Roof!
I worked with a very small crew... one guy (Carry) plus me!
This was really great because I got to have one on one attention and the opportunity to get hands on experience!

Day 1: We started on a day with not much to do, so we worked on a project that had been put off because it was a low priority. We were cutting bad caulk out of the stairs on the south west side of the Kimball Tower(because it was leaking into the basement). It was not a very exciting day again, but there was a promise of an exciting project on the horizon! More details to come.

Day 2: We prepared for the aforementioned project, working on the roof of the Maeser Building! The only problem was that it rained... and we got a call for an emergency leak in the basement of the Kimball Tower. (fortunately not the area we were working on!) It was a lot of investigatory work. Good to learn how to do that!

Day 3: Another day of investigating and working hard to fix the problems in Kimball Tower. Before the work, we got to check out some contractor work! One thing we got to see was the new broadcasting building! It is going to be Awesome!!!! Also, we got to go on top of the Marriott Center!! They are re-doing the roof, so we had to check it out! it was Awesome!!!!

The rest of the week I was off, because Carry left for the weekend... so I got a long weekend!!!

I really enjoyed the week... it was full of cool experiences and a good chance to pick someone's brain about their job rather than just leaning from 5 different people...
