Question 7

Specialization in a trade means focusing on specific skills. Carpenters specializing would work in specific skill areas, not locations, houses, or days.

In post - and - beam construction, beams are typically exposed (not never, always, or just for appearance). "Generally exposed" fits the construction style.

Modular houses are usually around 85% complete when delivered to the job site (standard knowledge in construction).
