What a great 60th Anniversary and Installation party! Thanks for the large turnout; it was good to see so many of our members there. Sixteen past presidents were in attendance to celebrate this milestone. I hope to see all of you at more meetings this coming year. The next time you see Mike Rezac, I hope you will thank him for his year of working for the association. Mike put a lot of time and energy into HBAL, and we all need to let him know how much we appreciate it.2011 is now in full swing, and we have a lot of events coming up soon. I would like each and every one of you to participate. The Home & Garden Show starts February 10, followed by one of my favorites . . . the Chili Cook-off. If you would like a booth to show off your chili, call Jennie at the HBAL office and sign up. For those who have booths in the Home and Garden Show, remember these tips to having a successful event: 1. Never leave your booth unattended 2. Stand in your booth and don’t hide behind a table 3. Smile 4. Learn to read people 5. Follow up! I think cabin fever has set in and we should have a really good Home Show this year. If you aren’t exhibiting, please come to the Show and see the new products and services on display.LB 546, regarding the update of the state building code, is now in committee. We will need your help to get this very important bill passed. If passed, the bill would

allow each city/village to decide if fire sprinklers will be mandated. If you have never taken the time to respond to a Call To Action this is the one where you MUST. We need to work together for our industry and affordable housing.

respond to a Call To Action this is the one where you MUST. ”

Shinaut’s Assistance with Prairie Gold Appreciated

In the fall of 2009, Greg Shinaut, Black Hills Energy, agreed to join the board of directors of Prairie Gold Homes, Inc. and was elected as vice-president of the newly-formed corporation. He also accepted the chairmanship of the “Curriculum Committee” with the first assignment of organizing a committee of members experienced in education and in construction that could develop a training curriculum to accompany their earlier home-building program. This program has matured into a joint effort with the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. of Nebraska to award inmate graduates “core certifications” under the program of the National Center for Construction Education and Research. This program has just graduated its first class of ten inmates on January 14, 2011, and has qualified for a Cooper Foundation grant to host a second class.Greg’s earlier experience as a homebuilder, and more recent experience as a leader of the local and state “Green Building” activities have also proven valuable to Prairie Gold Homes. Greg’s caring attitude and hard work have made a difference in many lives. Thank you, Greg.

Dear Mike Rezac, Lori Pippitt and Nadine Condello,Thank you so very much for choosing me to be a recipient of the winter quarter HBAL/Remodeler’s scholarships. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Having this scholarship will help me out so much. I have no job and work for my family on the farm so I have no income to help pay for my tuition and fees. Every bit of money helps me so receiving this scholarship helped me out greatly.Thanks again,Travis Kaslon

OSHA Fact Sheet: Fall Protection in Residential Construction

OSHA Fact Sheet: Fall Protection in Residential Construction The United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a directive rescinding the Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction (STD 03-00-001). Before issuance of this new directive, STD 03-00-001 allowed employers engaged in certain residential construction activities to use specified alternative methods of fall protection (e.g., slide guards or safety monitor systems) rather than the conventional fall protection (guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems) required by the residential construction fall protection standard (29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13)). Employers could use the alternative measures described in STD 03-00-001 without first proving that the use of conventional fall protection was infeasible or created a greater hazard and without a written fall protection plan. With the issuance of the new directive, all residential construction employers must comply with 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13). • Residential construction employers generally must

ensure that employees working six feet or more above lower levels use guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems. A personal fall arrest system may consist of a full body harness, a deceleration device, a lanyard, and an anchor point. (See the definition of “personal fall arrest system” in 29 CFR 1926.500.) • Other fall protection measures may be used to the

extent allowed under other provisions of 29 CFR 1926.501 (b) addressing specific types of work. For example, 1926.501(b)(10) permits the use of warning lines and safety monitoring systems during the performance of roofing work on low-sloped roofs.

• OSHA allows the use of an effective fall restraint system in lieu of a personal fall arrest system. To be effective, a fall restraint system must be rigged to prevent a worker from reaching a fall hazard and falling over the edge. A fall restraint system may consist of a full body harness or body belt that is connected to an anchor point at the center of a roof by a lanyard of a length that will not allow a worker to physically reach the edge of the roof.

• If the employer can demonstrate that use of conventional fall protection methods is infeasible or creates a greater hazard, it must ensure that a qualified person: • Creates a written, site-specific fall protection plan in

compliance with 29 CFR 1926.502(k); and

• Documents, in that plan, the reasons why conventional fall protection systems are infeasible or why their use would create a greater hazard.

The new directive interprets “residential construction” as construction work that satisfies both of the following elements: • The end-use of the structure being built must be as a

home, i.e., a dwelling. • The structure being built must be constructed using

traditional wood frame construction materials and methods. The limited use of structural steel in a predominantly wood-framed home, such as a steel I-beam to help support wood framing, does not disqualify a

structure from being considered residential construction. • Traditional wood frame construction materials and

methods will be characterized by: - Framing materials: Wood (or equivalent cold-formed

sheet metal stud) framing, not steel or concrete; wooden floor joists and roof structures.

- Exterior wall structure: Wood (or equivalent cold-formed sheet metal stud) framing or masonry brick or block.

- Methods: Traditional wood frame construction techniques.

Chairperson’s Message

by Jenny Samek

Thanks to all who joined us at the tour of Schneider Industries in January. We had a

great turnout. I was very impressed with the facility. It is great that they are the last manufacturing company in the US making electrical breakers. Now if only everything was still being manufactured in the USA, our country would be in a very different economic state. I think we should all be more conscious in buying American made and local products whenever possible! Please join us for the Home and Garden Show in February. We will be collecting food for the Food Bank again this year, so come help us fill the Remodelers Council Food Bank House. We still have time slots available for volunteers. Please call the HBAL office at 402-423-4225 to sign up for a shift.Even if you are not an exhibitor, stop by the Home Show to say hello to all the other members and get ideas for your own projects.Thanks,

ENERGY STAR® homes are a win, win, win proposition.

Homebuyers win because ENERGY STAR homes are more efficient, more comfortable and the lower costs of ownership allow them to put more money into their homes. Builders win because ENERGY STAR homes are more profitable to build. And the more we conserve, the more we all win. To learn more, contact Bob Ruskamp at 473-3275 or [email protected].
