He teaches apprentice Kevin that checklist by walking through the second floor and reviewing the plans. Using a marker, he makes labels on the framing and floors for the locations of hinges, valves, fixtures and studs to guide his subcontractors. Generation Next: This Old House’s Generation NEXT initiative shines a light on the urgent need for young people to enter the building trades and fill the skills gap in America today. “There’s a critical need for people in home construction,” says the This Old House master carpenter Norm Abram.
