NADRA Code Meeting: 10.10.18 at 4pm in room 331
NADRA has been actively involved in the code change process for over 10 years, most recently as part of the Deck Code Coalition (DCC). The DCC is made up of engineers, manufacturers, code officials and associations like the NAHB, aimed at promoting safer structures with fact-based code solutions that take into account contractor feasibility.
With the next round of changes being currently worked on, this could be your best chance to get informed or even involved in the process.
Please join your new NADRA Code Committee Chair, Mark Guthrie and recognized code training professional, Glenn Mathewson, MCP for an hour of discussion on this important topic. Register using the link below.

The Deckorators Deck Builder Summer Apprenticeship program, which is only open to the company's Certified Pro contractors, will assist with recruiting new workers over the winter months, and then train them during one of two 1-week sessions at the company’s headquarters in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in late April and early May 2019.

Sal Alfano writes: In 1980, I got a lucky break. New England was in a deep recession, and just as my work backlog was running dry, my electrician gave me a referral. At first, I turned it down.
