Show New" THE SAMPLER Friday, March 20, 1981 yoldloini f maficlhisfiiiek iD.fi' The Carpentry Shop, as part of Facilities Engineers (FE), is responsible for most of the upkeep. and re- pair to buildings and facilities on Dugway. Of all the shops in FE, the Carpentry Shop, which is run by Mr. Larry G. Prather, has more fingers into proverbial "pies than almost any other' shop. Almost every work order turned into FE for action usually involves the Carpentry Shop, in one way or another. For example, the carpenters might be called in by plumbing to cut holes in a wall or ceiling so that access to pipes can be made for repairs or replacement. Theyre also responsible for fixing those same ceilings or walls after the plumbers or electricians are finished with their work. These woodwork artisans handle most repairs to buildings such as the barracks,, bldg. 5314, or 5330 which is Personnel, as well as most buildings, (with the exception of housing, which is handled by contractor). Work includes replacing doors, windows and most woodwork, moulding and trim. They deal with the pre- ventative maintenance that keeps the buildings,, barracks and facilities livable and usable.- Officially, the Shop is authorized three carpenters, one mason, one locksmith, and two preventative maintenance people. . In actuality, they are two carpenters short, with one position empty, and the other slot temporarily vacant due to medical problems of an employee. Some examples of their work can quite obviously lienoted around post, such as the tunnels to the swimming pool bubble, the Laundromat and the refurbishment of Baker Lab, including putting up partitions, divid- ing walls, patching and finishing walls, etc. , v-. r " New service at Post Office - Thrift Shop hours are solid-corand fairly strong. will usually withstand a fire They upto 2 hours.

This will strengthen theweakest part of the. door, which is the latch, where the door locks to the frame. According to Prather, this should extend the life of the doors considerably, and make them more secure as well. It will aLso save money in the long run, as an average solid-cor- e door costs about $130, including labor (except the lock set, which is an additional made the ) "Diet-a-Tho- on 3292. Swimming Lessons offered Manpower is critical now.but I really believe my people could crease their production by 50 if they had the right materials when they needed them. Much of their work is in support of other shops, such as in emergency repair situations, when the job needs with the huge, almost impossible to be done immediately and, the plained the system this way: When a work order is made up, the primary shop is the one that has thr most hours invested in the job. A lot of tmr work consists of say, drilling holes in a roof or ceiling for the electrical shop or. whatever. They are the primary drop, yet we are dill investing equipment, repairs and manhours in the job, that are needed for other jobs as well. Carpentry Shop doesnt always get the needed materials for all the work until later. So, they scrounge what However, all is not gloom and they need, begging and borrowing doom exfor that job from others. Prather according to Prather.
