Residential Tuesday 2008.0115

[ArchitectureWeek Editors]

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Residential Tuesday brings you top housing news and analysis weekly
in this free email newsletter from the editors of ArchitectureWeek.

In the aftermath of fierce storms that raked California:

	In the construction trades, weather makes the work. At least
	when it's the fence-breaking, tree-toppling, shingle-peeling
	variety.
	
	For many small, independent contractors and their suppliers,
	the wet and windy storms that wracked Northern California
	earlier this month are bringing a much-needed – albeit small
	and short-term – boost to the region's struggling
	construction industry.
	
	At least that's how Patrick Egan sees it. On a recent
	morning, the rangy 41-year-old stands at the counter of New
	Home Building Supply in south Sacramento, reading his supply
	order from handwritten notes inked on his palm: some 4-by-4
	rough redwood, sacks of concrete, a couple more 2-by-4s.

This Week's Quiz -	
	As you probably know, "cut and fill" is the process of
	removing soil (cutting) from one part of a site and
	using it to fill another part of a site. What are these
	other construction-related "cuts": "cut nail," "cut
	boss" (slang), and "cut brick"?
