			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Selecting Carpenters &amp; other trades can be difficult<br />
Things to beware of &#8211; They may talk the talk but can they walk the walk? Read on&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Framing</strong><br />
Do your carpenters always choose straight top plates, door, window and corner studs?<br />
Do they think ahead and make life easy for following trades?<br />
Do they check for point loads and anticipate frame inspection items?<br />
Do they leave junctions un-nailed until lock up to allow for settling?<br />
Do they leave window openings until window dimensions are confirmed?<br />
Do they keep the bows all the same way?<br />
Do they  plumb, straighten and temporary brace their frames properly?</p>
<p><strong>Lock up</strong><br />
Do your carpenters properly flash doors and windows?<br />
Do they install units plumb and straight and check correct operation?<br />
Do they check for fixture locations and place noggs?<br />
Do they take pride in their work?</p>
<p><strong>Fix</strong><br />
Do your carpenters always make their door gaps even and straight?<br />
Do your carpenters scribe cut their internal corners?<br />
Do your carpenters glue all timber joints?<br />
Do your carpenters sand finish their joints smooth?<br />
Do your carpenters punch all nails?</p>
