Carpentry is everywhere. Anything that has to do with wood involves carpenters. “Carpentry is the trade and art of cutting, working and joining timber” (Britannica). Anything that has wood was made by a carpenter. One of the main jobs a carpenter has is making houses. Carpenters can do almost everything in the house. Some of these jobs involve all of the framing of items such as doors, windows and stair cases (Britannica). After all the framing is done the carpenters have to do all the interior jobs. These jobs include trimming, kitchens, wooden furniture and sheet rocking. After they have all the framing done they start installing the house and covering it with sheet rock. This is so the house can stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Sheetrock is also used as a cover to paint the house and even to texture it. Carpenters have to make all of the wooden furniture and the kitchen cabinets, some premade by manufacturers, in the house. The kitchen is specifically made by a carpenter and his team. Some cabinet shops specify in only making the cabinets and installing granite countertops for the kitchens. That is because the kitchen is such a big place and it requires a lot of work. It takes several steps and can take up a long time. It takes less time to make separate cabinets and wooden furniture.
