Lily O'Brien

As part of my pre-apprenticeship carpentry program, I collaborated on building a complete residential kitchen from framing to finishing. Our team handled every phase of residential construction, starting with rough timber framing, batt insulation, and vapor barrier installation. We hung and finished drywall, installed interior doors and window trim casing, and laid tile flooring. The build also included residential electrical rough-in, baseboard carpentry, and cabinet installation, giving me hands-on experience across comprehensive framing and finish carpentry.
