Summary

Bolstad Barn Salvage

I am a self-taught skidsteer operator. learned and improved by load/unloading trailers, moving packs of lumber to designated spots, and cleaning up jobsites by moving leftover debris into or around the foundation of the barn. I also learned how to work with my hands, most of the lumber was salvaged by hand with tools such as hammers, pry bars and chainsaws.

I learned how to keep to a designated schedule while unloading customer product in a timely manner, while also helping any customer with a defective product or a concern they may have about future deliveries.

I had the ability to be flexible with my route by moving accounts and delivering them in the order that would be best for my customers and be most efficient for my delivery route

Dyesport

I operate a sublimation machine called Monti Antonio. I perform regular maintenance on said machine ranging from light cleaning with a rag, to disassembling the machine to perform a deep clean. While operating the machine over the last few years I have learned how to optimize performance which has greatly increased productivity. I also operate a fabric cutting machine called a Zund cutter. I use this machine to cut dyed fabric while I am also dying fabric with the previously mentioned machine.
