Daily grind

Sparks fly as Eric Woodard, a member of the Iron Workers Local Union 383 and working for Duwe Metal Products Inc., Menomonee Falls, uses a grinder while preparing to install a handrail Thursday on the third level of the Wisconsin Energy Institute on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. M.A. Mortenson Construction, Minneapolis, is overseeing work on the seven-level, 107,000-square-foot building that is on schedule to be complete by the end of the year. (Staff photo by Kevin Harnack)
