This week a cold front moved through Juneau so most of class time was dedicated to painting the concrete board siding for our home.  Brad Austin, our local plumber apprenticeship coordinator, gave the class an informative walk-through lecture on how plumbing works in residential homes on site and on all the science behind it.  The SAGA crew started installing the pink foam insulation to the exterior of the home beginning what will become a major task in our near future as a class.  After put up furring strips then siding.
