So, the big disaster restoration exam is tomorrow. Am I ready? I don't honestly know. I do know that I am nervous, apprehensive but that I want it to be done. I think my brains are just gonna leak out when I finish the test. The test starts at 7am ET Saturday and we have a limit of 6 hours in which to finish. I will be staying to the end, I just want to be sure I get everything right that I can, there are 436 fill-in-the-blank questions. Things like:
- Define the Heppelwhite, Louis XV, Queen Anne, Chippendale, Phyfe styles of furniture and when they were originally produced?
- List the 4 cleaning methods and give examples of each.
- Define thermoplastic material.
- What is a collar tie?
- What is an electrical canopy?
- Distinguish between a mullion and a muntin.
- What is the function of purlins?
- List 6 ways to tell of a drapery is custom made.
- Describe the behavior of the following fibers in a burn test: wool, nylon, olefin, cotton.
- What pH solution would you use to clean white, wool carpet post-fire?
- What are the 3 general categories of Oriental rugs?
This test is *everything* restoration from framing of a house, to finishes to all the personal property inside, to insurance laws, art restoration, electronics, mold, OSHA standards, National Fire Protection Act, Toxins, Lead, Fuel Oil Spills, Tear gas, antique furniture. Like I said before, pray that I pass! In the meanwhile, enjoy the pics from what may be my last post from the East Coast!
