[Ventana Construction]

Seattle remodeling contractor is seeking an experienced carpenter with strong finish skills to join our team. We’re looking for candidates with a strong background in residential remodel construction. We’re considering carpenters who have at least 5 years experience in remodeling.

Candidates should have a solid knowledge of framing to finish specifically in remodeling. All candidates should have standard carpentry tools, personal protection gear and reliable transportation.

Carpenters should have journey-level skills, and be able to work alone or with a crew to complete framing, window and door installation, exterior trim, siding and interior finish work. This position is likely to focus on finish work, so strong skills in stain-grade materials, railings, stairs and custom millwork are essential.

Most of our projects are additions and significant remodels of existing homes. Details and quality of work are extremely important; we are looking for someone who can both focus on immediate tasks and think forward.

We offer competitive wages and full benefits: a generous PTO program, 401k and company-subsidized medical/dental/vision. We work primarily within the city limits of Seattle.

Please submit your resume to ‘ventanaresumes – at – gmail.com’ for consideration. Due to the large number of expected resumes, we will only respond to top candidates.

“Why do you insult me and question my knowledge of current events.”

Taking offense at statements offered on the internet where tone is not well conveyed is a distraction from the discussion. Since you were unaware of the Mayor’s self funding of her trip which was widely reported in the news media (I saw it 3 different places), a conclusion that you may have missed something else doesn’t seem too out of line to me. At any rate, no insult was intended.

separating children from their parents is evil. Why do you insult me and question my knowledge of current events.
The City of Seattle declared a homeless EMERGENCY. Our mayor needs to stay focused on that issue.

I think the “vigilantes” CarDriver is referring to are those who choose to wait for a green light before turning. While it is legal to turn on a red arrow, there’s no requirement to do so. CarDriver probably honks at these people (which is not legal.) CarDriver’s assertion that the waiters create a hazard is nonsense, since the light is red and everyone behind them is also required to stop.

I agree with you. I live close to the WS Bridge, so getting to Columbia City has not been a bit deal for me. Getting to Burien is probably equidistant time-wise, even though Burien is slightly further mileage-wise. I gave it a week or two after they opened to settle in and showed up to do my regular shopping. I do a majority of my shopping at PCC and spend $$$ there. And like you, I came out with very little. Either couldn’t find what I wanted, or they didn’t have what I was looking for (and what I get at Columbia City). I will be very disappointed if the new WS location ends up similar. I’ll probably give it another chance to see if they were just not done stocking things yet, but I have a feeling I’ll be just as disappointed. When I first saw Columbia City, I loved it and was so excited that the new WS location might be similar. But if Burien is what they’re moving to, meh.

Rave: A few weeks ago, SDOT actually came out to fix 35th Ave SW and it wasn’t their pothole ranger team; an actual repaving team – yay!

Rant: After a whole production of partial lane closures with 8-9 large pieces of paving equipment and trucks, only a tiny sliver of a lane was paved a glorious 2 blocks from Myrtle to Holly.

What’s half-“baked” (half-a**-ed) about this?

The strip paved doesn’t align with the lane. It partially covered the turn lane and partially the driving lane. There will be guaranteed potholes starting on the seam this winter right in the middle of the driving lane. More future dangerous swerving opportunities created. We’ll now spend the next 2 years like mindless Sisyphean idiots punching away requests on the Find-it-Fix-it app. They also didn’t do the last pothole ridden block between Holly and the nice concrete of the Morgan/35th intersection. They also left the half-baked pothole ranger slap-dash fixed stretch between Othello and Myrtle in front of OLG.

It’s just a hodge-podge of expensive repetitive half-baked fixes on 35th.

Why didn’t they just properly pave a whole lane?
Why didn’t they pave adjacent blocks while they were out for the day or two?
Who manages this work?
Do different teams talk to each other?
Is this even cost efficient?
Can anybody explain if anything SDOT does is logical?
What the actual ****?

I hadn’t seen this thread before. So…I am a girl (woman) born before 1950. All the way back to ancient times in 1947 That makes me “vintage” now. In the early 70’s I enlisted in the Women’s Army Corp, where women got to shoot weapons, became mechanics working on vehicles in the motor pool, and driving said vehicles, too. So what’s the crap about having to be born in the 70’s, yada yada. Women may not have flown many planes way back then (damn, I feel ancient….oh, wait…), but women did a lot of stuff that you probably don’t realize. It had to start somewhere. And , as far as flying planes, and doing what men do, now…well, that changes and gets better every day. It might be 2 steps forward, one back, under the current administration, but, progress has been made. Things are far from perfect…we definitely are considered 2nd class by many in this country, but we persist…and resist…and hopefully the new generation coming up will follow in the footsteps of women like Harriet Quimby, got her pilot’s license in 1911, or Matilde Moisant, who got her license 13 days later. Military? No. But they could fly. Or consider Bessie Coleman, the first black aviatrix, who got her international pilot’s license in 1921. What an accomplishment. I don’t think Boeing is disrespecting women on that billboard. Yes, we’ve come a long way, and still have a ways to go. But give Boeing a break.

PNelson…thanks for your post.

here’s a question for you. Who is responsible for the rain gardens the city installed once the contract for their care runs out?
i once had two very lovely trees that i invested in :(

[elma]

I, too, agree with tiser. Made my first visit to the Burien store last week and was very disappointed. Quite unhappy that several items I find at Columbia City were not available. Not to mention the poor meat department. If the new WS PCC is like Burien’s, I will continue to travel to CC for our shopping!!

The Exorbitant Costs of Tree Removal Permits in Seattle.
As of Jan. 1, 2018, the city of Seattle is charging homeowners $324 per hour to review a tree removal permit.**

You are charged per hour for the permit review, whether or not the permit is approved.

This fee comes on top of the arborist’s fee for the required Tree Risk Assessment (which usually begins at $250).

One of our customers was charged for 3 hours by the city to review his permit — nearly $1,000 to simply review the permit — on top of the cost for us to actually remove the tree.

This fee is charged to you even if your tree is dead and dangerous.

Can you afford these crazy costs? Is it right for the city to keep adding fees and regulations? Look at your yard. Do you have a nuisance tree? Is one of your trees sick or dying? Plan to spend about $575 on up just to get permission to remove the tree.

** These fees currently apply only to trees that are on the planting strip or trees with a diameter and species that designates them exceptional. With the proposed new rules, these fees will apply to EVERY tree with a diameter of 12″ or more, regardless of its health

[miws]

They needed to make it high enough 165ft(?) for ships to be able to clear it so there would be non-drawbridge access in and out of West Seattle. The big complaint, even when both drawbridges were functioning, was the frequent openings including during rush hour. Trains crossing at the east end of the bridges was another issue. It wasn’t too rare of an occurrence to finally start across the eastbound span after a ten-minute bridge opening, only to have a train come through on the other side.

[AdmiralJaneway]

I was not a WS resident back then, but I do remember the new bridge being built. Back then I wondered why is the West Seattle Bridge so high? I still have that question today.
