President’s Message Lois Hartzell, HBAL President 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 “If you have never to respond to a Call To Action this is the one where taken the time to you MUST. We need to work together for our respond to a Call To industry and affordable housing.

Action this is the one where you MUST. ”

Member News | Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation

MEMBER NEWS Thinking of You... Our sympathy to Paul and Carol Andringa, Integrity Builders, Inc., on the loss of his mother, Johanna Andringa, on January 7, 2011. Our condolences to Julie Sydow on the death of her husband, Jerry, who passed away on January 14, 2011. Jerry had been a member of HBAL since 1986.

Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation Please consider a contribution to the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation when designating memorials. Funds go to scholarships and awards for students who want to be involved in the construction industry. Gifts can also be designated as a specific scholarship to be awarded to worthy students who plan to enter our industry. Gifts are tax deductible to this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please contact Bob Bryant (402-486-1040) or Nadine Condello (402-423-4225) if you have questions. Thank you.

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. 6  Lincoln Business Builder

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 • • • • • • Nadine & Staff, What an honor and what a surprise! I sat at the table all evening without a clue that this was coming. I participate in HBAL because I believe in your mission and you make it fun. To be recognized like this makes the HBAL experience even more enjoyable. Thank you!!! Ron Ecklund Recipient of the 2010 President’s Award • • • • • • Nadine & Staff, Thank you so very much for the donation of trucks and dolls. Your generous donation was greatly appreciated. You helped to put smiles on the children and families we serve. Thanks again! Stacy Stenka and the Behavioral Health Team

SCC-Milford Student Chapter Places First at IBS Congratulations to the SCC-Milford Student Chapter for placing first in the National Outstanding Student Chapter at the International Builders Show in January. This marks the eighth first place award for the group since 1990.

Dear Lori & Remodelers Council of Lincoln, Thank you so much for the generous donation of cold weather gear for our students. The items were appreciated and will be used throughout the season. Our students and families are so grateful for your kindness. Sincerely, Jadi Miller Elliott Elementary School • • • • • • Dear Remodelers Council of Lincoln, Thank you for your donation of so many hats and mittens for students! Your dedication to this project is obvious! We have been able to distribute them to children who did not have either a hat or mittens, and they were very grateful. Thank you for supporting us, and all of our kids in this important way. With gratitude and all best wishes, Lizabeth Ebers Truesdale, Counselor Scott Schwartz, Principal West Lincoln Elementary School • • • • • • Dear Remodelers Council of Lincoln, On behalf of the Principal Jo Theis and all of us at Clinton Elementary we would like to thank you for donating gloves and mittens for our children. They have already made a difference with our students prior to the holiday to help them stay warm on these very cold days. We so appreciate you thinking of our students as often there is a real need here at Clinton. Our student population is at 92% of free and reduced lunch and breakfast programs. Our families often have a hard time just meeting some of the very basic needs, but with help from you and others in the community we are able to make the lives of these students a little brighter with your thoughtfulness and gifts. Even though you may never receive thank you notes from the Clinton families, please know that when they have received the gifts they are genuinely grateful. We would like to thank you for your gift of kindness. We would also like to wish you a Happy New Year and hope that it will be filled with joy and peace.

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.

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 coldformed sheet metal stud) framing or masonry brick or block. - Methods: Traditional wood frame construction techniques.

• 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

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 ever ything 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,

National Designation Month:

Gain a Competitive Edge with a Designation With today’s changing market, it is more important than ever that building industry professionals maintain their edge. Like any other profession, a changing market can translate into fiercer competition for your business. Earning a designation from NAHB Education can be a great way to distinguish yourself—and your company. Although February is National Designation Month, we ask you to consider the opportunities NAHB provides to advance your industry knowledge and skills throughout the year. Having a designation tells clients that you have honed your business skills and have superior training, hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of your profession. Designation holders can also take advantage of valuable networking opportunities during their enrollment, working closely with expert instructors and other professionals within their field and outside their specific areas of expertise. As part of National Designation Month public relations efforts, NAHB educates consumers about the value of selecting a professional with a designation, so your hard work will mean even more when it comes marketing yourself and your business. If you’re interested in taking a NAHB class, contact Jennie Korth at 402-423-4225 or jennie@hbal.org. For more information on the professional designations offered by NAHB and National Designation Month, visit www.nahb.org/NDM.
