ПРАКТИЧЕСКАЯ ЧАСТЬ
SOME BUILDING PROFESSIONS
A man, who has been an apprentice for some years in a building
trade and has therefore
enough skill to be considered a skilled worker at his trade, is called tradesman or craftsman.
He may be a
carpenter-and-joiner,
bricklayer,
mason,
slater-and-tiler,
plumber,
electrician,
house painter,
glazier,
floor-and-wall tiler,
plasterer,
paper-hanger,
steeplejack,
hot water fitter and so on.
Bricklayer is a tradesman who builds and repairs brickwork,
lays and joints salt glazed
stoneware drains, sets, chimney pots, manhole frames and fireplaces. He renders brickwork,
including the insides of manholes. A sewer and tunnel bricklayer is a specialized bricklayer. In
some
districts of Greart Britain, bricklayers also fix wall and flooring tiles and slating and lay
plaster and granolithic floors. But elsewhere these are plasterer's specialities.
Carpenter is a man who erects wood frames, fits joints, fixes wood floors, stairs and
window frames, asbestos sheeting and other wall-board. He builds or dismantles Wood or metal
formwork. The two trades of carpenter and joiner were originally the same, and most men can do
both, but specialize in one or the other. In the USA the term "carpenter" includes a joiner. The
word is derived
from the French word charpente, which means a wood or metal framework.
Joiner is a man who makes joinery and works mainly at the bench on wood, which has
been cut and shaped by the machinists. His work is finer than the carpenter's, much of it being
highly finished and done in a joinery shop *which is not exposed to weather.
In Scotland a joiner is a carpenter-and-joiner.
