(music) after school at 3. . 30 i hop on the bus and go to work with kids. i didn't realize i was going to get up that early for the rest of my life. >> it's hard to get good jobs. you can get well paid working at restaurants i was making good money that's not my 50 year goal working as a waitress. it would be better to have something to fall back on i

wanted something where i would in 10 years accumulate properties. >> 3 months is a long time to be busy all day. i'm putting myself further in debt with the understanding it's worth the sacrifice. eating raman for 3 months. it's not fun but i think it will be worth it. >> we all want to graduate we are all tired of this class. been 11 weeks. one more week to go. >> i need to get these mraps out. >> my purpose is to get the recruits prepared for the construction training. >> what you do is get a 2 by 6 sitting on the saw horses. we will cut 10 feet.

everybody going to get one and you measure up 6 inches. you sure you got 8 feet. >> as a carpenter you have to let them know what's expected and they need to know the stuff to get going on the trades. >> the main thing they need to know is how to carry the stuff on the job and the hussle. >> you can't work with the gloves. >> my part is a small part. my part is the best part. the part that really teaches them how to go out and fish rather than go to the fish market. my job is how to teach them to fish when the fish market is closed. >> this requires i thinking. when you go on the job site they will pay you 20-15, dollars an hour you have to think and figure stuff out and get the

jobs done in a record time. >> one of the things we try to teach with the construction trades is your attitude going to work. how employers look on new workers and it's about profitability and productivity. it's not how much swings it takes to drive, you know, ita about do you have the right attitude? can you show up on time? can you make the company money? >> 12.5 times 15. >> i don't want you to use the calculator. >> the students go through approximately 420 some hours of training. we operate at the campus of the community college a 12 week, full time program, 7-3:30.

>> if you were going to figure out how much [inaudible] you need you rounding up. >> average age of individuals in the trades is in the 40's from what we are told. in the 50's quite frankly those folks are getting ready to retire. we see a void. >> the average is making 60-80 thousand dollar a year more with benefits much it's hard work i will not lie. >> if you like working with your hands and creative and you look at a building and say, i did that finish and that building is there for a hundred years. come to my program you will work for anyone in the country. >> we send people to the dry waller the carpenters and the plummers. >> we are conscious who we give

a job referral to. >> we look at the skills part as far as hayou do with a hammer and nail there are other components to be able to be a team player. be able to take directs and be precise and punctual things like this you need to help you keep your jobs. >> we will looking at the interviews today and doing the critiquing from the papers. >> i was thinking last week we were talking ask that was so much thinking going on about the interview and how i was going to do it. >> i feel like, me, as an

african-american woman and older woman with children i feel i have to set an example. a lot of people don't know how to deal with anger and conflicts. the kids here look up to me. if i do something and don't set an example then they are going to follow. since i've been a positive roll model, coming to school everyday. some of those kids pick up on that and i see the improvement in them. >> one thing that i knew but the class helped reinstate is that you have to check yourself. we are all grown adults. >> i try to be motivated in everything i do in my life. if you don't encourage yourself to do something or do things for yourself you can't expect somebody else will do it for

you. some people didn't make it to class because they have a bad attitude and decided it wasn't worth it. >> when you do something you have to understand why you are doing it and you can't say and come in and say, i will make good money. construction's not like that you have to want to do it because it's not aedz work. you have to want to get up and go to work and do physical labor for 8 hourses. >> i lived next to biotechnology companies and was a recruiter. i was getting tired and felt sluggish. >> i knew from the first day we were outside being outside having fun, climboth ladder and hammer and the physical labor i knew it was something i would enjoy. to say i put 15 years into this and not retire a

multimillionaire but retire healthy and feel good about the work i have done. >> the greatest accomplishment is you drive by a building or bridge and say, i helped build that bridge or helped build the building on market street. the most greatest reward for me is i taught that student to work on the bay bridge. taught the student operating the crane that student was in my class. >> our goal is to have a core group of people, we are hoping it's over 50 percent of your grads complete and become journey people andup standing

good roll models and citizens. the largest public works our city has season in many years going on now the private project that 1 rincon hill. huge project. we had 5 or 6 people work on that project thus far. the rebuilding of the academy of science in golden gate park. the rebuilding of our public hospital laguna honda this is on going work with the same contract ors that move successful apprentices from one project to another and keep them working for several years. the construction workers of the future to be the superintendents the construction owners. that's the perfect thing there. that's success.

>> okay welcome to the public of building inspection broke browng session and building san

francisco and today we're going to talk about odd or excentric erinteresting building in san francisco and i have with us a structural engineer san francisco pat and who has probably looked inside many of the buildings here and one of the great resources in san francisco and thanks for being with us today. you say unusual buildings and one of the first things that comes to people's mind and that's the one and here's one that is called the octagon house but in fact there is more than one in san francisco, so pat said this is around the horn. >> in pieces. >> i actually have a record says that it was constructed here in 1861 by william mc elroy and

moved across the street. let's see. these octagon houses were build by someone that said this was a better way and a craze swept the country and at one point there was five in san francisco. here is one of the two. here is another one. let's see. >> this is fung she. >> i think so. and here is one built in 1958 and it is occupied as a resident and you can take a look: green street and jones. >> across from one of the old fire houses. >> you folks chip in if you want to speak. >> and it's also used as a

residence. >> the fire house. we will see another one in a second and not only do we have those in san francisco. here we have a hexagon building and truly a oddity and someone should have checked it in san francisco architectural digest and recently built. what do you think? in san francisco we have other shapes and there was the triangle cafe. it's on 17th -- >> (inaudible). >> 16th and it's right near the new mission bay. now one of the things that i found interesting is the value of the building is not so much in the building but the gigantic pipe and the base of a billboard which probably brings in an

enormous income and the building is supplemental. >> because i work for people that rent in the range of 30 to $40,000 a month and i will take a guess that the net roug revenf the business is not that must have but the net revenue on the billboard is more than the business. >> and the business is a additional element. >> yes. >> and this is is the children's care sol play ground and in new york. anybody know where? moved four or five times across the country and ended up at the golden gate exposition and moved into the park and replaced an old carosol that was built in

1888 and the stuff i read was a priprimitive one with horses any a steam engine. >> there are lots of interesting things in the golden gate park from that time. >> and still some left. here is another one of the round buildings in san francisco and these rectangle protrusions. >> tell everybody what the building is. >> calabery come come comes frod it's filled with the ashes of people who have been cremated and it's the last remaining operational useable one in the united states i understand. >> and the last cemetery in the city except for mission delores

and the other ones were excavate all the people. >> what is the word? >> disentur. so there are a few other people buried in the city and star up at the first unitarian church. there are people buried at the mission delores. there are a few people buried here and in the presidio and other than that if you look at the other cemeteries were disenturd and moved out but you have to go in there and take a look and walking through this building it's a big building. it's three stories tall and goes around and around and there are interesting -- >> call emmit2861181 and he said give him a ring and he does tours. >> and they were going to tear

this down and the people did something legally so it wouldn't be abolishes and not land grant but a technical term that prevented the city from tearing it down. >> it was abandoned in the 30's a society purchased it in ti terrible disrepair and emmit was there restoring it. >> it's by the cemetery and it's strange now but when it was built there was a huge cemetery around it. >> it's off of geary boulevard and lo rain court. >> geary and stanon. >> where the cornet theater is. >> here is another circular

building. this is the old built line engine house and built at this time and served san francisco waterfront and freight on to the fearies and operating throughout the 90's. >> i remember seeing it when there was a turn around in front. >> and chucking up and down the embark dareo and now converted to offices and in beautifully restored condition. it was restored in the mid80's and a city landmark. it points out the fact that these buildings at some point went on into disrepair and people wanted to tear them down and later generations have a different talk on it so when we think how much buildings are today and even today they might not meet our needs or utility they might

have great value in the future. another one and enormous billboard over this and this is at samuel at la contan cont ande cost of construction of $3,000 and joseph nevelo and the department has a tremendous record collection so i can actually pickup up the records for most of the buildings and here is the original building permit for this building, and it's an interesting and unusual fairy tale building which is also another one that we drive my and the atlas stairs building on 22nd street. >> in the mission. >> in the mission. >> (inaudible). >> this is one of the alleged

mets in check so shra vackia and in some of the history books and especially midevil europe and means to leave the window. >> he tossed out the window. >> throwing out the window. this is a piece of art by briin gargan. >> and howard street. >> were you involved -- >> no but i stood there talking about the next big earthquake. >> and you can see the grandfather clock falling out the window and wardrobe and chairs and tables. >> this building has been vacant since the quea 89 earthquake anm not sure if they know what to do with it. >> if you go by and part of the art work shy di he did fake carl

advertisements and looks like graffiti but carnival ads and graffiti. and the city has a bunch of old gas stations. >> rarer. >> and this is bay shore boulevard. >> (inaudible) next to the plant. thank you. and these are something whose time is come and gone. you don't see too many of these unless you are driving in rural idaho driving and i like this and who is the designer? the designer is it owner's son and we have permanently recorded. >> in the good days you didn't need to be an architect to design something. >> that's right. owner's son. >> he didn't even have a name. >> he didn't need one.

>> here is another one. >> portero. >> and built for $600 and a steel frame building and used as a shop. they don't sell gas there and but it's there and according to the records and we have all these old records. let's see where do we go? and this one -- >> and that's the best one. >> okay. this is down at howard field. what's up dog? >> used to be on pacific and they wanted to tear it down and everyone went up in arms and they cut off the bottom and dragged it underneath the freeway and abandoned it -- >> temporary storage. >> and now it's a hot dog stand. >> and down there is a wonderful black smith building and one of

the things i like about this building it has elevated roof on the section behind and ventilate and no chimneys. >> right next to it isn't there a copper smith building? >> up the block. >> fo fol sum. >> this is in fact a san francisco landmark and 1911 and as a black smith shop and so many change. a rarity. tools, manufacturers, general black smith. still used as a black smith shop. one of my favorite buildings in north beach area is the sheet metal shop and the shop -- this entire building, facade is made of sheet metal. as we get closur
