An uninsulated concrete floor in a finished basement or garage lets valuable heat escape from your house.

Main Duties Both carpenters and cabinetmakers construct things out of wood, and in some cases their duties are very similar, though cabinetmaking tends to be a more specialized trade than carpentry. Both are required to read and interpret plans in order to understand what they are to build. Using architectural drawings, they operate woodworking machines to cut and form parts. Then they fit parts and subassemblies together to form complete units. Workers in both trades may supervise apprentices and prepare cost estimates for clients. Carpenters build foundations, install floor beams, lay subflooring, erect walls and roof systems, fit and install trim items, and maintain wooden structures in mills, mines, hospitals and industrial plants. Cabinetmakers build, repair or restyle wooden furniture, cabinets, fixtures and other products. There are different skill levels within these trades. Rough carpenters construct forms, frame buildings and assemble basic structures. Finishing carpenters work on the final stages of construction, such as the installation of doors, mouldings, stairs, and so forth.
