Kitchen & Bath Business - October 2020 - 15
general contractors or project superintendents
who basically want to talk to the man in charge.
When I was younger, that was scarier to me. Now
I just tell them that's me. As soon as I prove myself
- for lack of a better term - we're fine.
Erck: It's my job site, and I establish that right out
of the gate, so I don't really have a problem. Last
year, we did have a new framer who made lude
comments. I said, "You do not speak to me this
way. You do not speak about me this way. And if
you don't think you can do that, then I will find another framer." He was horribly offended and said
some pretty awful things, so I told him I would
meet him on site, he could pick up his tools and
apologize to me. He never showed back up and
literally left his tools on the job.
Ireland: Six months in, I was the last one of my
class to get a job. I overheard that my name was
put out there and turned down because they didn't
want a girl, which was disappointing. But once I

started working, I have had really great mentors - mostly older guys. Lots of
times, younger guys push back in a competitive way, but the older guys, they're
like, "Yo, sister, you got that."
What do you like best about what you do?
Kurt: Building people, building business and building communities. I just like
building. I think all types of construction are really unique and really fun. And
tower cranes are cool.
Erck: Creating spaces where there either wasn't space or function before. Put
a bathroom in a closet? Yes please!
Ireland: The satisfaction from building something. It's empowering to have
that skill set to say you built something. I'm driving around with my kids and I
say,"Your mom built that building." Then I make them get out of the car and
take a picture in front of it. My now almost-teenagers are no longer thrilled
with this.
