1
Hey, I'm Mike Forge, I work for Sierra General Contractor.
2
I'm a site super and this is a day in the life of...
3
So, what we're going to go check on now because the day started.
4
We got trades on site, they're coming.
5
We've got about five, six guys doing an orientation right now.
6
No matter how far along you are on a site, it seems like you're always doing orientations.
7
We had the heaters going all weekend.
8
The heat's going so the drywall is just still taping on the inside
9
which we'll go through later
10
but right now we're gonna go shoot temperature of the roof for the decking only
11
because our roofers require it to be no more than minus 10 out
12
which it is but then the decking itself can't be higher than minus 10
13
because otherwise their adhesive and their material won't apply and they can't roof.
14
Typical day is chaos.
15
Don't mind where it's a little warmer.
16
In the building every single trade here has a jar card that they've got to fill out.
17
We sign off and it's going to indicate what work they're doing, where they're doing it and how they're doing.
18
So with that, it's going to point out the hazards, how they're going to do it safely, and then we review it.
19
Because sometimes they're nearsighted, where you've got to think of a whole project.
20
So all the trade, we'll think about their job, their job only.
21
But we have to think of the whole thing.
22
So if he's putting in ductwork over there, who's under it?
23
Who's around it?
24
Everything we do has to be scheduled so the next guy can keep going so no one's holding each other up.
25
And when you're walking by, you see stuff like that, like the guys on the lift, you always have to look to see,
26
make sure they're tied off, so your head's always doing something.
27
You always got to be looking for something.
28
I saw that both of their harnesses, they're on, they're tied down, it's safe, they're good to go.
29
They've already taken out their permits to do it, so we're fine.
30
That guy up there, he's tied off, right?
31
So it's as simple as
32
that you're not we're not hounding anyone just got to make sure they're doing their job safely and correct
33
uh just it's the part of the job i really like is being able to rip food on it and then
34
then catching this stuff like it is the best part of
35
our job is like going how are we going to get it done right
36
and get it done and make sure it's actually done
37
So right now, obviously it's dark earlier.
38
So if it was a new build, they can't really even start until the sun comes out because there's nothing going on.
39
So on those typical days, you know, you're 7 o 'clock.
40
When the job progresses to the point where we're putting up steel, the trades want to start earlier, we start earlier.
41
Me typically, I like to be here a half hour earlier because I got a daily I got to start.
42
I got jar cards I got to fill out.
43
I got any hazards
44
I got to deal with as well as just kind of
45
get your head in the game for what's going to happen
46
because nine times out of ten there's going to be people showing up all the time supers were here early
47
but your trades they show up that they're usually at their shop for seven
48
so that means they're not on your site till eight nine ten o 'clock depending on
49
if they got to go get material or what but when
50
that happens they usually come go hey I need an orientation
51
and the big thing there is so that we can as supers explain to them is there hazards on site
52
They don't know.
53
They've never been here.
54
They've never been here.
55
So they don't know if we're using some sort of, you know, chemical that can affect them a certain way.
56
We don't know their allergies.
57
There are people that break out in hives from paint, from dust.
58
So those things are the reasons why you have to come do an orientation.
59
So then we can, well, eliminate the hazard.
60
If there is a problem somewhere, it's either PPE or vented or go work somewhere else, right?
61
And that's a constant struggle for supers.
62
but that's a day in the life of a super.
63
So as a super we got to know everything.
64
We got to be the smartest person in the building.
65
We have to know how to build everything
66
or at least have a mindset of at least we think we know how to build everything.
67
So when these guys all show up to site they know absolutely nothing other than their one job.
68
I'm doing concrete, I'm doing electrical, I'm doing this.
69
But we as super has got to be able to make sure
70
that we know how to do it with them so it's effective.
71
I always said that if I can do your job, I would, but I can't.
72
I have to rely on you and your knowledge to get stuff done effectively.
73
I almost said .
74
So what I'll have to do is if I get a set of drawings, the first thing I'll do is I'll start from the foundation
75
or the footing and I'll color them because some buildings have different size puddings, different size, everything.
76
In order to make it easy, you color it.
77
Like this is this thick, make it yellow.
78
This is this big, make it red.
79
So when the traits come to do concrete, then it's here.
80
This is what I have.
81
You're able to use it, but you have to do your own drawing but I'm here to help.
82
We're here to help.
83
So the best way to help is make an idiot proof.
84
Color it.
85
And everyone works together.
86
It works.
87
It works good.
88
I tell all my trades, don't do anything without coming to look at my drawings first because all the RFIs,
89
all the change orders, I'll tape them to the drawing.
90
So if there's a change that they don't know about, they need to come look at it.
91
This is my typical daily.
92
You know, They have key points in here that we're supposed to look at.
93
It'll upload automatically the weather time and the weather conditions, wind speed, everything like that.
94
This is basically the day -to -day what's going on.
95
Anything I do, it's put into here.
96
It's supposed to be like a story, so everyone can track it through the day, what comes up, anything that happens,
97
orientations, materials, everything goes in here.
98
So right off the hop, you know, was there any scheduled delays?
99
Not a real delay, but we can't do the roofing because of weather conditions
100
So I have to input that and then I have to put that in its own delay tracker
101
So then down the road we can we have a reason right as every job we do is based on a schedule
102
Which is a set time and it's one thing holds up another it's always a chain effect
103
So it's important to keep as many notes as you can I've been a Sierra for 19 years Hitting 20.
104
I like the fact that it's challenging every day.
105
They have different styles of buildings
106
You get to meet and talk to cool people, get different ways of thinking.
107
There's more than one way to do everything.
108
So it's a giant, vast of ways of doing stuff.
109
It's really cool because construction is always changing.
110
And that's the day in the life of a Sierra Sight Super.
111
See ya.
112
Have a good day.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
