After more than three decades working in an office setting, I recently joined the ranks of the people working from home. The situation has its obvious advantages \u2014 my commute time has been cut down to less than a minute \u2014 but I must admit I\u2019m still getting used to it.<\/p>\n
There are a few problems I\u2019ve encountered in my home office that I didn\u2019t have to cope with before. The other day our cat, Boo, ran across my keyboard and renamed a file \u201c;;;;\/\/\/\/.\u201d Luckily it jumped to the top of the folder I was working in, or I\u2019d probably still be looking for it. I\u2019ve gotten better at timing the delivery of a Kong toy stuffed with peanut butter to keep our dog, Josie, from barking during phone interviews, but it still sometimes happens, especially when packages are delivered on our block.<\/p>\n
Working from home and working in an office have their challenges, but I realize how lucky I am. Every week I talk to people who work at the top of buildings large and small, making the roof of a commercial building or a home their temporary office. I\u2019ve learned each jobsite has its own obstacles and its own set of risks. Each project also has its own rewards.<\/p>\n
This issue puts the spotlight on hospitality and entertainment projects, and as a sports fan it was a thrill to cover stories about new construction projects including the PVC roof installation atop U.S. Bank Stadium<\/a> in Minneapolis, and MB Arena<\/a> in Chicago, the practice home of the NHL\u2019s Chicago Blackhawks, which sports a TPO roof and two garden roof systems.<\/p>\n
