2.    Constructing garages and decks in connection with homes/dwellings. 

3.    The construction of single or multiple family homes, three stories and under.

4.    If the insured has employees engaged in interior carpentry duties, per above, but are active in building an entire residential home or any construction activity associated with non-interior carpentry duties(listed above) with insured temporary labor, then 91340 would apply versus 91341.
