Hey, I'm Mike Forge, I work for Sierra General Contractor.

I'm a site super and this is a day in the life of...

So, what we're going to go check on now because the day started.

We got trades on site, they're coming.

We've got about five, six guys doing an orientation right now.

No matter how far along you are on a site, it seems like you're always doing orientations.

We had the heaters going all weekend.

The heat's going so the drywall is just still taping on the inside

which we'll go through later

but right now we're gonna go shoot temperature of the roof for the decking only

because our roofers require it to be no more than minus 10 out

which it is but then the decking itself can't be higher than minus 10

because otherwise their adhesive and their material won't apply and they can't roof.

Typical day is chaos.

Don't mind where it's a little warmer.

In the building every single trade here has a jar card that they've got to fill out.

We sign off and it's going to indicate what work they're doing, where they're doing it and how they're doing.

So with that, it's going to point out the hazards, how they're going to do it safely, and then we review it.

Because sometimes they're nearsighted, where you've got to think of a whole project.

So all the trade, we'll think about their job, their job only.

But we have to think of the whole thing.

So if he's putting in ductwork over there, who's under it?

Who's around it?

Everything we do has to be scheduled so the next guy can keep going so no one's holding each other up.

And when you're walking by, you see stuff like that, like the guys on the lift, you always have to look to see,

make sure they're tied off, so your head's always doing something.

You always got to be looking for something.

I saw that both of their harnesses, they're on, they're tied down, it's safe, they're good to go.

They've already taken out their permits to do it, so we're fine.

That guy up there, he's tied off, right?

So it's as simple as

that you're not we're not hounding anyone just got to make sure they're doing their job safely and correct

uh just it's the part of the job i really like is being able to rip food on it and then

then catching this stuff like it is the best part of

our job is like going how are we going to get it done right

and get it done and make sure it's actually done

So right now, obviously it's dark earlier.

So if it was a new build, they can't really even start until the sun comes out because there's nothing going on.

So on those typical days, you know, you're 7 o 'clock.

When the job progresses to the point where we're putting up steel, the trades want to start earlier, we start earlier.

Me typically, I like to be here a half hour earlier because I got a daily I got to start.

I got jar cards I got to fill out.

I got any hazards

I got to deal with as well as just kind of

get your head in the game for what's going to happen

because nine times out of ten there's going to be people showing up all the time supers were here early

but your trades they show up that they're usually at their shop for seven

so that means they're not on your site till eight nine ten o 'clock depending on

if they got to go get material or what but when

that happens they usually come go hey I need an orientation

and the big thing there is so that we can as supers explain to them is there hazards on site

They don't know.

They've never been here.

So they don't know if we're using some sort of, you know, chemical that can affect them a certain way.

We don't know their allergies.

There are people that break out in hives from paint, from dust.

So those things are the reasons why you have to come do an orientation.

So then we can, well, eliminate the hazard.

If there is a problem somewhere, it's either PPE or vented or go work somewhere else, right?

And that's a constant struggle for supers.

but that's a day in the life of a super.

So as a super we got to know everything.

We got to be the smartest person in the building.

We have to know how to build everything

or at least have a mindset of at least we think we know how to build everything.

So when these guys all show up to site they know absolutely nothing other than their one job.

I'm doing concrete, I'm doing electrical, I'm doing this.

But we as super has got to be able to make sure

that we know how to do it with them so it's effective.

I always said that if I can do your job, I would, but I can't.

I have to rely on you and your knowledge to get stuff done effectively.

I almost said .

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

or the footing and I'll color them because some buildings have different size puddings, different size, everything.

In order to make it easy, you color it.

Like this is this thick, make it yellow.

This is this big, make it red.

So when the traits come to do concrete, then it's here.

This is what I have.

You're able to use it, but you have to do your own drawing but I'm here to help.

We're here to help.

So the best way to help is make an idiot proof.

Color it.

And everyone works together.

It works.

It works good.

I tell all my trades, don't do anything without coming to look at my drawings first because all the RFIs,

all the change orders, I'll tape them to the drawing.

So if there's a change that they don't know about, they need to come look at it.

This is my typical daily.

You know, They have key points in here that we're supposed to look at.

It'll upload automatically the weather time and the weather conditions, wind speed, everything like that.

This is basically the day -to -day what's going on.

Anything I do, it's put into here.

It's supposed to be like a story, so everyone can track it through the day, what comes up, anything that happens,

orientations, materials, everything goes in here.

So right off the hop, you know, was there any scheduled delays?

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.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
