Happy 2016, loyal readers.<br />
<br />
As you can tell, we are starting to sheetrock Lena #1.<br />
<br />
The students spent a class period going over the assembly, safety, and operation of the sheetrock lift and now they are using it to install the sheetrock on the ceiling.<br />
<br />
Accurate measurement is critical as there are many can lights and angles for the vaulted ceilings that need to be accounted for.<br />
<br />
One of the most annoying things in the world is to hoist a heavy sheet of rock over ones head to find out you measured it incorrectly... Not that that ever happens with our crew... but we have heard stories of other peoples difficulties.<br />
<br />
On Monday immediately after break, we spent 15 minutes developing SMART goals. We discussed the importance and power of effective goal setting, and students each developed 1-3 personal goals each in regards to house build, school in general, or an extracurricular activity.<br />
<br />
I will check in with them in February, March, and May to see if they are working in a direction that will lead them to success in reaching their goals.<br />
<br />
I am really impressed with the thought that went into developing these goals and am looking forward to the results!JDHS House Building http://www.blogger.com/profile/01650243114429105114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380411142732198939.post-58351622704416428702015-12-11T07:29:00.001-09:002015-12-11T07:29:19.010-09:00Lena 1 and 2 updates:Hello, faithful readers!<br />
<br />
It's been awhile since our last posting, but we are back.<br />
<br />
The two houses out in the Lena area are going along with out any major difficulties and the students from both the University of Alaska Southeast and JDHS are getting a great learning experience.<br />
<br />
Lena 1 is now completely roofed. JDHS students did much of this work and learned about OSHA requirements regarding fall protection and scaffolding set up along with technical aspects of roofing including types of underlayment to use and how to install shingles.<br />
<br />
As some of the students were roofing, other students installed TYVEK on the exterior walls and other students did interior framing of walls. We have a big class this year, so it works great to spread them out.<br />
<br />
Upon completion of the interior framing, Auke Bay Electric and All All American Plumbing and Heating came in and did their respective jobs and as always did a fantastic job.<br />
<br />
Once these subcontractors were done, the students installed batt insulation and vapor barrier with Justin's expertise and guidance. Students learned about the importance of sub contractor scheduling, R Value, condensation, and the importance of doing all detail work accurately when weatherizing a house.<br />
<br />
During this time, Justin was working with his tenacious college students and installed several windows and started installation of the rigid foam insulation on the exterior of the house.<br />
<br />
As this work was taking place on Lena 1, Justin and his college crew diligently framed the floor of Lena 2 and framed, sheeted, and stood all exterior walls of Lena 2 including the two big Rake walls.<br />
<br />
We are now working on final straightening of the walls as Kelly from Juneau Truss has our trusses done and ready to set!<br />
<br />
Things will slow down a bit over the Holidays, but we will hit it hard when we get back:<br />
<br />
Currently we are prepping for our next big push and are hoping to get all of our drywall stocked in Lena 1 before break and walls straight and braced in Lena 2. We will call Walt or Dave at Valley Lumber today and try to arrange for a delivery on Monday.<br />
<br />
Drywall installation and setting of trusses are two big construction milestones, and we hope to have these completed soon after we return to school after the holidays.JDHS House Building http://www.blogger.com/profile/01650243114429105114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380411142732198939.post-25284939636135273392015-04-06T17:04:00.000-08:002015-04-07T16:12:23.621-08:00Juneau House Build Project...Reboot!Over the past eight months the Juneau House Build Project has been retooling and preparing for the next wave of development. After the completion of our Churchill Way project, the partners were still earnestly seeking a parcel of land for this 2014/15 project year. We vetted over a dozen potential properties but cost remained a barrier to achieving a development costs in sync with our goal of creating affordable housing. Eventually, we negotiated a very reasonable price for a parcel of land and the wheels began to grind forward. The House Build partners are happy to announce that we are constructing two new affordable homes on the corner of Lena Loop and Oceanview Drive.<br />
<br />
While the land purchase was being fine tuned, we had some other exciting developments. The University of Alaska Southeast became one of the three, full-fledged, House Build partners, along with the Juneau School District and the Juneau Housing Trust. Students from several of the University's Construction Technology courses will now be getting their hands dirty on the House Build Project. This new partnership will also give us access to the fantastic resources of UAS's <span class="office"><a href="http://www.uas.alaska.edu/tours/locator.html#juneau-tec">Technical Education Center</a> </span>and UAS faculty will be managing the construction process. <br />
<br />
Once a building site was identified it allowed us to proceed with the design process. Lead by UAS Assistant Professor Robin Gilcrist, the team designed two homes to be built at the Lena site. The homes are efficient, 860sqft, two bedroom, one bath, energy efficient units. Below is a preview of our construction drawings<br />

Last but not least... What have our students been up to? During fall semester UAS and JSD students worked on a number of projects. We constructed a Tiny House here inside of the Tech Center, a deck was built for a community member, a mobile green house is underway for the Southeast Conference's Grow Southeast and the Sustainable SE
Partnership (<a href="http://juneauempire.com/local/2015-03-25/seeking-stable-table">Juneau Empire Story</a>), and we prefabricated much of the floor and wall systems for our first unit in Lena.<br />

All in all, our "down time" was anything but down. The House Build Project is rebooted with some exciting new features and we are excited to get our hands dirty again. We've broken ground in Lena and expect to be pouring our foundation in the next week. Here are a few parting shots from the site. Thanks for following us and keep checking back because the action is about to start!<br />

The Churchill Way house #2 is complete. Since our last post we have completed a lot of work. The student's school year ended in May. At that time we were putting the finishing touches on the exterior siding and digging utility trenches. The students had the rare hot sunny days to dig in the rocky ground. Tough work but they were most certainly up to the task after a year of construction in the southeast Alaska environment. The students really put in the elbow grease there at the end and gave a strong finish to their year with the house. We all were able to enjoy some sizzling barbecue at the shop thanks to Andy Bullick. He whipped up some mighty fine hamburgers and bratwurst. Sorry we didn't leave any left overs Andy. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> A local work program allowed one student, Sam Bibb, to remain with us for the month of June to help out with the site work and some interior finish work. Construction debris, trash, and large rocks were removed from the site. Cut and fill work was completed, adjusting the topography for proper drainage. 6 foot cedar panel fences were erected on the property along the property line and around the respective yard of house #1. Approximately 6 tons of D-1 crushed stone were spread on the parking and walks areas of the site and 3 cubic yards of top soil were spread around both house sites. Juneau saw record rainfall amounts in June but the work continued on. There is a term in Juneau for the rain, liquid sunshine. Its a rainy place to work to say the least. The house-build team was made for it though, southeast Alaska residents are born with neoprene in their skin. Sam, Justin, and Jess installed cabinets, flooring and trim throughout the house as the rain continued outside. Sam has big plans for his short summer before he starts his senior year at JDHS in the fall. Thank you Sam for your hard work and also for being best DJ the house build project may ever see.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> Sam worked through June with us and now it is down to two people on the job. Justin Fantasia and Jess May. We're here to put the finishing touches on the house, installing door and bathroom hardware and also to build the bamboo plywood bookshelf and staircase. The bookshelf and staircase are an integrated piece of built-in furniture for the house, its an eye catcher when people see it. The master craftsman Justin Fantasia takes special care in the integrated staircase, it is built to exacting standards of quality. Stairs generally require a fair amount of head scratching to build them correctly but integrate a book shelf underneath the stairs to match the treads and risers and certain people may start to go bald. Mr. Fantasia is no stranger to challenging task that require lots of critical thought though. As they say in the South, it ain't his first rodeo. The staircase is great center piece for the house, even the untrained eye can see the care and time that went into building it.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> As a final note I'd like to say good bye to the house build project and the hardy team of builders I was privileged to work with . I'm Jess May the Americorps service member that has been with the project since September 2013. Its hard to say what this adventure will mean to me as I gain perspective on it but now I am simply happy and proud to say I had the opportunity to work in beautiful,wild southeast Alaska. Tough work in the rain and snow does the soul a great service. Thank you to all the people in and around the orbit of the house build project that make it possible. We inhabited a small but busy world in Lemon Creek building the house and your help made it happen. A big thank you to Justin Fantasia and Andy Bullick for being the stalwarts of progress and leadership for the project and the student builders. Sam, Adriana, Mike, Kyle, Drecar, Calvin, Derik, and Thomas, I've enjoyed working with each of you, remember the hard work that you put into this house and take that along with you on your paths in life. Enough looking in the rearview for now, keep the eyes on the road, the next house is waiting to be built. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: small;">During this
short week the class worked on siding. After the siding’s first coat of paint
and finishing the final touches of pink foam, the class prepared for the
installation of siding during testing week. For the few days we were there for
house build, the class learned what siding is and its purpose, the tools we
would be using to install and cut the siding, and how to safely handle the
materials.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: small;">Now siding is
the last piece of overlayment that goes on the outside of the house. Its
purpose is to not only give an aesthetically pleasing look to the house, but to
add another layer of protection from wind-driven rain. When installed, the
siding is installed from the bottom up. The next piece of siding only covers
1-1/4” of the top of the piece underneath, leaving a 6” reveal. To make sure
that the reveal is consistent throughout the runs of siding, we used a gauge

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: small;">The gauges can
each be adjusted to set a different measurement on the reveal. We also used a
nail gun to install the siding because if were to hand nail it, the siding
would likely shatter. With a nail gun we can set the pressure at which the nail
is driven into the siding so that the heads aren’t sunken in all the way. We
then finish sinking the nails in with a hammer. To cut the pieces of siding we
use a large shear. We could also use a pair of electric siding shears, but this
process leaves a rough cut and produces a dust that can be hazardous when
breathed in. So to help prevent us from breathing in the dust, we use N95 face
masks.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><b><span style="color: white;">JDHS House Build Blog 3/3-3/14</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><b><span style="color: white;">By: Samuel Bibb</span></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The week started with class advisor Jess May continuing to reinforce his Idea of teaching the students to plan out their lives before High school ends. Jess ran the kids through an experiment where all of the students made a poster laying out goals in the next 4-10 years that the students wanted to meet. The students threw out ideas all over the place such as being an electrician to traveling to all 7 continents. The class started this unit before winter break when Jess assigned the kids to write a paper explaining a perfect day sometime in their life where everything in that day was what they absolutely wanted.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>On Tuesday the class changed scenery when it moved from the classroom to the job site. The main objective of the day was to clean up the site and the house before the inspector arrived. Once he arrived, he did his normal check up on the house, then he went into teaching mode, when students started asking questions about the house and other life questions.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>With the region basketball tournament being in Juneau during the week multiple students missed class wednesday and friday due to activities related to the tournament. That left only five students left to work on those days. the number would have been four but a student that disappeared at the beginning of the school year showed up again to surprise the class. With the five people at the class on friday, the team used the time cutting and preparing siding for the next week.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span></b>Distractions show up all the time in life, in this case half of the JDHS house build team spent the week dreaming of where they were going to be the next week. Five members of the house build team will be traveling to central florida during spring break to work with Habitat for Humanity framing houses. With this image being cemented in some of the students and teachers minds, the overall effort from everybody began to decrease. The class made a smart decision when they decided to spend the whole week in doors. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>The week started in the classroom with Jess assigning the class yet another homework assignment that implemented what he has been preaching about planning for the future. The assignment was an extension of the S.M.A.R.T activity that the students completed the prior week. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>At the jobsite the house has reached a point at where the whole structure is completed, but all it needs now is the “pretty work.” The pretty work is the finish on the house, like the paint, the interior, and other things that make the house look better on the inside and outside. The first task on the pretty list was to paint the siding strips. First the class had to move all of the siding strips into the scene shop, then they could begin painting. The class spent the rest of the week working on that single task. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b>Editors note: </b>On Saturday the 15th the JDHS homebuilder will be traveling to Stuart, Florida, where they will be helping out Habitat For Humanity. The homebuilder will spend a week in Stuart framing houses during the day and enjoying the weather the rest of the time. </span></div>

<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">JDHS house build 2/24-2/28</span></b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">By: Samuel Bibb</span></b></div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The week of the 24<span class="s1"><sup>th</sup></span> of February was a week of catching and finishing up for the JDHS house build team. The high-stressed school anxiety seemed like it was hitting everybody in the class. Midway through the week, some of the house build students received a rude awakening from the authority leaders in the class when a majority of the class were called out because of lack of consistent habits of work throughout the month</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> With multiple big projects on the house being completed in prior weeks, jobs on the work site began to become scarcer for the team. The main objective for the house build team continued to be the completion of the exterior pink foam insulation, but others found it hard to find work. A majority of the class continued to work on that while other’s continued to follow the advice of Andy Bullick by cleaning up the site when done with their assigned job. This idea of stepping up and taking responsibility has been a big staple put on by the teachers in the class. For months now Justin, Jess and Bullick have been reminding the students about our futures, and how this class matters a lot about the future of your life.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Another idea implemented by the teachers in the class has been the idea of a punch list. A punch list is a list the shows the tasks that should be completed in a certain amount of time. The students began to follow the lead throughout the week. With any schedule in life there are always obstacles that you must overcome so that you can achieve your goal. A few of the students accompanied by class advisor Jess May ran into a problem at the beginning of the week when a fews measurements on the backside of the house were off. The group of 2 student’s and one teacher were putting up furring strips that are intended to hold up the pink foam the outside of the house that helped with insulation. Every furring strip was supposed to line up with every single interior stud so the strip of furring plywood could be fastened to a common stud inside the wall. The problem was that somehow the strips were fastened to a stud that was not on layout which made the problem exponentially worse. This took hours to correct.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> On the final day of the week, Juneau continued its pattern of unbelievably sunny weather through the dark days of winter. That made all the students suddenly transform their attitudes from negative to positive which helped the overall vibe of the team. This increased the work on the job site. Another reason why all of the students changed their attitudes was because Jess brought all of them a delicious treat. Jess’s friend Ambrose Capps and Paul Lee sent him two king cakes straight from </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">New Orleans, which made them even better. The two cakes were to small for Jess's stomach alone so he shared. All of these additional pros made the work environment picturesque.</span></div>

Students begin to think about their plans during the break, which slows down the work progress in all classes including house build. </span></span></div>

The class started the process by discussing the process of building stairs. After that, the students learned about all the components in stairs which included the stringers, treads, risers, and nosing. Using that information the class calculated how many stairs they needed to build the staircase so that it would be applicable to the code. From there they were able to lay out the first stringer and cut it out.</span></span></div>

The rest of the class period, each student was given a measurement that represented the height from the 1st floor base to the 2nd floor base. with that height the students were to layout and cut one stringer for the hypothetical staircase.</span></span></div>

With friday being a short day the class only had time for one more task after moving the windows. That tasks being cleaning the site and making a dump run. With alot of progress being completed in a week span the student only have miserable 2 days to recover until their hit by finals week of 12/16-12/</span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 2; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">20. </span></div>

It just seems to bring the best out of everybody, including the JDHS house build class. With spirits running high, students begin to pick up the pace a bit and start to use common sense more on the job site. The term “use common sense” has been an ongoing motto, and a laughing matter for the team. Mr. Bullick has been the main catalyst for the job site slang talk.</span></span></div>

Through the first week of december advancements on the house were made every day, including the installment of the 2nd floor interior walls. The team spent a majority of the week working on the framing project. At first the students thought the process was going to be a simple one, But they thought wrong. Constructing and placing a wall is a taller task than advertized. It’s not just a job that you can do without learning background information about it before doing it.</span></span><br />

Derik couldn’t get a stubborn nail into a simple stud for the longest time. He eventually used his problem solving skills to think out his problem and solve it. The Teaching staff has been reminding students everyday to think out there problem before asking a teacher. The advisors have also been telling the students all sorts of tips and tricks that will help the students in the construction field down the road. </span></span></span></div>

While working outside in the cold, keeping warm is key. The JDHS house build class encountered many problems through their first week of winter. One of those problems being; trying to stay warm the entire class period. A simple cotton sweater and jeans won’t do the trick, you need more than that. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

With monday the 18th of November being one of the first days of sub- freezing temperatures. Adjustments had to be made all around. A lot of the students weren't dressed for the weather which impacted their performance on the job site. </span></span></div>

Tyvek is used</span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to provide a water barrier between the outer cladding of a structure and the frame. The rest of the students finished up jobs that to needed to be done. Later in the week After finishing up the tyvek process, the students headed back to the classroom to work on much needed math skills. Arithmetic is a very important concept when it comes to construction. PCL’s construction manager Trever Gallagher supported that idea by saying “You don’t just have to know how to pound a nail into a board to be successful in construction, you have to be well rounded and very intelligent.” Gallagher visited the class tuesday the 26th to inform the students on the future after high school. Alot of the students including myself we’re inspired by what Trever said to us. </span></span></div>

There was also a sense of transition on the jobsite. The class switched from working outside to working inside. The next major job to complete for the house build team was to complete framing and construct the 2nd floor interior wall framing. The class started that process on Wednesday.</span></span></div>

We're working rain or shine, getting the second floor walls framed and sheathed with plywood. We've also started to install the roof joist but not before learning how to calculate and cut the roof joist properly. The ground crew measures and cuts the joist and the second floor crew does the installation. We're learning the important advantages of working as a team and it is showing onsite. We run tight ship when we're building a house. We take the necessary strides to learn about our building processes and are accomplishing each goal we set for the day. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: orange;">by Adriana Botelno</span></span><br />
<br />
This week we prepared to pour the first floor slab. We did some final leveling of the sand and placed electrical conduit in the sandy fill. After that we laid pink insulation and a grid of rebar that was held up in place by small concrete rebar chairs. Mikey and I put in the second support beam and began to cut nailer blocking for cabinets for later on in the house building project when the cabinets are installed. We also talked about how concrete is ordered in cubic yards and practiced using fractions and decimals.<br />

Assistant comes my last posting as blog author for the Juneau-Douglas High School’s House-Build Program. Being involved with the House-Build program for the better part of 9 months has been a rewarding experience. I was a given a first-hand look at the process of residential construction and had the opportunity to be involved with nearly every step along the way. What’s more, I had the privilege to impart everything I had learned to the 8 high-school students enrolled in the program. The House-Build class is unlike anything I have ever been a part of and it was truly a pleasure to be involved with a program that provides a positive and challenging learning experience for students while improving the community by creating new housing units. Within the next few weeks a new group of students and a new Construction Trainer Assistant will start the new school year by putting up a frame for a new house and I wish them, as well as all others involved with the program, the best of luck.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">But let’s not forget that we have our current house still in progress. 5871 Churchill Way is nearly at the completed stage, accept for a short list of minor tasks that are awaiting the right circumstances. Below are pictures of the interior and exterior of the house in its mostly completed stage. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Thanks for reading and your continued support.

Since installing our cabinets and doors, we have added trim on our window sills, door frames, and base trim. In addition, all of our appliances have been delivered and installed. Currently, we are in the midst of our last major project: our bamboo staircase with built-in bookshelves, which you will hear more about on another day.

Once the plywood pieces were in place, we added a piece of 1x3 hemlock on the underside of the plywood.

After our cabinets had been delivered we removed each one from its packaging and temporarily arranged them in place to ensure that we had received the correct number and type of cabinet units. Once we had ascertained the types and dimensions of our cabinets we removed and safely stored all the doors and shelves to facilitate the installation process. <br /><br />With assurance that we had received the correct cabinets and our doors and shelves removed and stored we moved on the marking the locations of our cabinets on our wall. After marking the cabinet locations and the studs and backing that we fasten our cabinets to we moved on to installing the cabinets themselves. The first cabinets that we installed were our hanging cabinets, in other words the cabinets not resting on the floor. These cabinets were installed first to avoid the inconvenience of working over a row of base cabinets.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqZHC7nDnFxUyiPpa_RrRHycj_gKl2Hu0GoiunS0OGdjBpEfL6T5opaa1UYK7aiuHiNlSJYp2ugA3Dhy5qf_hnV3g9kV_UM0-j6tUtwyeovskfaz9DWNuf8CiUdNqAvnkTRHKJmCrNj8/s1600/Cabinets+(13).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiqZHC7nDnFxUyiPpa_RrRHycj_gKl2Hu0GoiunS0OGdjBpEfL6T5opaa1UYK7aiuHiNlSJYp2ugA3Dhy5qf_hnV3g9kV_UM0-j6tUtwyeovskfaz9DWNuf8CiUdNqAvnkTRHKJmCrNj8/s320/Cabinets+(13).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">Top row of cabinets after installation</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The process continued with the installation of base cabinets.

Following that, we fasten the other side of the door jamb to the framing.

And being that there are only so many days in the school year, our students will be unable to participate in the final few stages of the construction of the house they helped build. So that leaves the Construction Manager and me, the Construction Trainer Assistant, with a few busy weeks.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Since our last post, much work has been accomplished at 5871 Churchill Way. Apart from the installation of our gutters, the exterior of our home has been finished. All of our fiber-cement and cedar siding has been installed and painted, our exterior windows and doors have been encompassed with cedar trim, our decorative awning, composed of stained cedar, is hanging in place, and our soffits are covered with perforated vinyl. The interior of the house isn’t far behind. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><span style="color: white;"></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_k5AD8oDYb3rGuskECnj_q9D696RoCtCywf5V4dR2dMVixpZuUPIiYGIoRidcu5yb4JH7tn5d_nJMSdVDgGcssIpnWlvpVSSidz8O_Ivr5MWIOZraE9dEWkX33wAZcxkUopkWTWlUF8/s1600/Exterior+(24).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_k5AD8oDYb3rGuskECnj_q9D696RoCtCywf5V4dR2dMVixpZuUPIiYGIoRidcu5yb4JH7tn5d_nJMSdVDgGcssIpnWlvpVSSidz8O_Ivr5MWIOZraE9dEWkX33wAZcxkUopkWTWlUF8/s320/Exterior+(24).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Stree view of the finished exterior with T&G Cedar Siding around the doorway and fiber-cement siding covering the top and side walls</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkife2UVPinpm-CMcArtGGTnYTnWYO1Lx1J91AVGAV-0RORXUQ-T2ji2EH-BLhfZlwPiyAG20IuNTUIFvzmek0IsKRNGsGHIyHZUQa0AbyupSYoceuB_5Weoy2aUJIaWNvPPRYPHVMZPk/s1600/Exterior+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkife2UVPinpm-CMcArtGGTnYTnWYO1Lx1J91AVGAV-0RORXUQ-T2ji2EH-BLhfZlwPiyAG20IuNTUIFvzmek0IsKRNGsGHIyHZUQa0AbyupSYoceuB_5Weoy2aUJIaWNvPPRYPHVMZPk/s320/Exterior+(5).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">View of the front of the house with T&G cedar siding surrounding the top window.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPsDJ_7UzvkSUVHhfh-MB4Gc6YUiuzkpQ9uwduO74K_W3vE20XvPe7Y0CtZKY0t4wFAMPW8fUqU7iZwyplOIcdJcPtvc3svcYnLWiuw4of-vcsubg1kakR0yzXPmZmMQ6FfyYp8YlfiZY/s1600/Exterior+(8).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPsDJ_7UzvkSUVHhfh-MB4Gc6YUiuzkpQ9uwduO74K_W3vE20XvPe7Y0CtZKY0t4wFAMPW8fUqU7iZwyplOIcdJcPtvc3svcYnLWiuw4of-vcsubg1kakR0yzXPmZmMQ6FfyYp8YlfiZY/s320/Exterior+(8).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">Backside of house covered with fiber-cement siding</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQGpp0WfLkfaariCoEqDnYji1F_1omVByI_-Z0QJpwMJiaL9C7ZzkGnft8WqMTMeZVkgbyGJ5_AH_SyFVRdi08uQFST2cRn8vb6IQr6do_me7vJ57GgF-fxa4v4st4QxU6KDmuMHZgkNY/s1600/Exterior+(11).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQGpp0WfLkfaariCoEqDnYji1F_1omVByI_-Z0QJpwMJiaL9C7ZzkGnft8WqMTMeZVkgbyGJ5_AH_SyFVRdi08uQFST2cRn8vb6IQr6do_me7vJ57GgF-fxa4v4st4QxU6KDmuMHZgkNY/s320/Exterior+(11).JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">Side view of the house.

The status of our house at the last post was a framed staircase and the beginning our exteriors finish work that included the installation of siding, trim, and soffit. Presently, we are a few days away from having a finished exterior and drywall installed, our roof is insulated and shingled, and our interior wall cavities have been insulated. This is good news because summer vacation is fast approaching for our students and we hope to have as much done as possible before they are finished. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Therefore, the site remains busy as usual. Our next steps include finishing up the installation of siding, trim, and soffit. Once all the exterior materials are in place we will have to paint the exterior of our house. For the interior, after our drywall is finished and painted, we will begin installing flooring and kitchen cabinets, as well as carpet in the upstairs of our house. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The next few weeks will be quite busy and before you know it our house will be finished and ready for occupation. So if you don’t keep up you might miss it. Stay posted and thanks for your support.</span><o:p></o:p></div>JDHS House Building http://www.blogger.com/profile/01650243114429105114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380411142732198939.post-76175428537690321202013-03-28T10:32:00.002-08:002013-10-09T11:23:13.700-08:00A Busy Few Weeks<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Welcome back and thanks for checking in loyal readers! We greatly appreciate your support. It has been nearly three weeks since my last post and much has been going on with the House-Build project. So I’ll do my best to catch everyone up with everything that we have been doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The last time you heard from us we had poured our concrete slab and begun attaching vinyl soffit, trim, and siding to the exterior of our house. Since then, our students and staff have framed our interior staircase, roughed-in our HVAC ventilation, finished our interior framing, traveled to Martin County, FL to volunteer with their local Habitat for Humanity Chapter, and traveled back to Juneau at the start of this week to continue installation of our siding, trim, and vinyl installation. In other words, we've been busy.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So, let us start with the stairs. Before the students did any measuring, cutting, or installing, they were introduced to stair framing in a traditional classroom setting. This introductory lesson by the Construction Manager, Justin Fantasia, gave the students a basic overview of staircase anatomy, codes and requirements for residential staircases, measuring and calculating staircase dimensions, and layout, cutting, and installation techniques.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the conclusion of this lesson the students had the opportunity to put their new-found knowledge into practice. After calculating the dimensions for the staircase in our home using measurements taken earlier in the day, the students marked three 2x12’s stringers to ready them for cutting. But right as the first cuts were about to be made the school bell rung, signaling the end of the day’s class.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Therefore, the next day’s class was spent cutting and installing the stringers and temporary stairs for our house. For the rest of the week the students assisted with the installation of HVAC ventilation and reviewed the plumbing and electrical work that had been performed by sub-contractors earlier in the week.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The entire week was accompanied with an air of excitement because the JDHS House-Build Class was scheduled to fly to Orlando the following Saturday for the much-anticipated spring break trip to Martin County, FL to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, 11 Juneau-Douglas High School students, 5 from the House-Build class, and 4 staff members spent 5 days assisting in the construction of two 1,600 sq. ft. single-family residences. Displaying the skills they had acquired from the House-Build class, the students helped with interior framing, and installing roof trusses and roof sheathing. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The experience was an enjoyable and meaningful one that saw the Juneau House-Build class accomplish a great deal of work accompanied by a few afternoons at the beach that weren't too bad either. The trip would not have been possible without the support of numerous organizations, businesses, and individuals from the Juneau and Martin County Areas. For those who helped make the trip a reality, we can't thank you enough.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLBBg9UfyDkgtmHW-PHzQX4CpITiCFFoy_jL_iPDaDDrQgU3Dou94zwA2E2DNOKufwe_mU6Tv9Ik5cfR7jSFR8z0Zin-IakzHKpeLJaxNCt3dlv8gyT1cLuR9XbFdPCn_kPLwSkSrhSbu/s1600/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLBBg9UfyDkgtmHW-PHzQX4CpITiCFFoy_jL_iPDaDDrQgU3Dou94zwA2E2DNOKufwe_mU6Tv9Ik5cfR7jSFR8z0Zin-IakzHKpeLJaxNCt3dlv8gyT1cLuR9XbFdPCn_kPLwSkSrhSbu/s320/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">JDHS student, Crystal, working on interior framing</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpS587uvCxFDyiH2AlxdH__YqVZ7FZzr4_UKlNDDMyCWjboW_urQE7ZHlXwN3KrjJXUUMIGO5JAq488PnmzE90-AnVDVICQtiipd7Xx9mMc_XhgOVrA8yBjAI1pVjsCwnyxMpz4tTla9P/s1600/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbpS587uvCxFDyiH2AlxdH__YqVZ7FZzr4_UKlNDDMyCWjboW_urQE7ZHlXwN3KrjJXUUMIGO5JAq488PnmzE90-AnVDVICQtiipd7Xx9mMc_XhgOVrA8yBjAI1pVjsCwnyxMpz4tTla9P/s320/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+068.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">JDHS students and staff attaching plywood sheats</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6Ct2_af6kDLRzHtvPe0Vpllko3M_7rZwWVplQPp1rQkaJVc07CVXSgS26EBPoh-liLisexkyIa3CWlHvHGMeZQWIIjP50YWGQh9Xpszc0myyvzzNhUzow04YIpvOkO_LNyOEN0PGqA7t/s1600/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+030.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6Ct2_af6kDLRzHtvPe0Vpllko3M_7rZwWVplQPp1rQkaJVc07CVXSgS26EBPoh-liLisexkyIa3CWlHvHGMeZQWIIjP50YWGQh9Xpszc0myyvzzNhUzow04YIpvOkO_LNyOEN0PGqA7t/s320/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+030.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">JDHS students, Leo and Hadi (bottom), passing up plywood sheats</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-TjPyTKqiQxy85_X65Npc3IOLAMAAisqAgM__xgJuZfUpbuJCa-jgCl8un5t8WswtzMgToZB0ROhQtdA6mM9Sd_sX9i5ExFS3_gb1wlBBWqhJZ_WxewnC2Ias4EBBxrGmgh6d3XYJTwO/s1600/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-TjPyTKqiQxy85_X65Npc3IOLAMAAisqAgM__xgJuZfUpbuJCa-jgCl8un5t8WswtzMgToZB0ROhQtdA6mM9Sd_sX9i5ExFS3_gb1wlBBWqhJZ_WxewnC2Ias4EBBxrGmgh6d3XYJTwO/s320/Habitat+for+Humanity+Trip,+Martin+County+132.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Returning to Juneau at the start of this week, the students and staff seemed focused on the next task at hand: attaching our siding, vinyl, and trim.

That review process involves looking for places in the frame that may be missing required structural pieces or need additional pieces, called backing, which do not add structural support, but provide a place to land and fasten interior products such as drywall and cabinetry.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">This process requires a more investigative form of carpentry than usual and the students all performed impressive Sherlock Holmes-impressions as they searched the frame for flaws or missing framing members.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">The slow and tedious task of pick-up framing will come to close at the end of the week, just in time for our students to move on to pouring our concrete slab, scheduled for this upcoming Monday. Stay tuned.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Weekly Weather Update for Our Spring Break Field Trip with Martin County Habitat for Humanity:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Juneau, AK: 40 degrees Fahrenheit with showers<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Orlando, FL: 60 degrees Fahrenheit with sunshine<o:p></o:p></span><br /> <br />JDHS House Building http://www.blogger.com/profile/01650243114429105114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380411142732198939.post-87371360825110461412013-02-21T09:34:00.002-09:002013-10-09T11:23:13.724-08:00Movin' Right Along<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those checking our weekly posts to stay updated with the progress of the JDHS House-Build project it is my duty to report that this week there is very little to report. Due to parent-teacher conferences and staff work days our students were only present for two days of the week leaving the House-Build project with one of its more uneventful periods.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although uneventful, a fair amount of work was accomplished this week. By the end of this past week the students had managed to finish applying the first coat of paint to our exterior siding, leaving us with the task of transporting it over to the house site. Therefore, yesterday was spent ferrying the siding from the school to the worksite where it will wait until we are ready to fasten it to the exterior of our home.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> In addition to moving the siding, the students were briefed on the plan for Friday’s “class”. We will be preparing the floor of our home, which at the moment is a pit of sand, for a concrete slab that will be poured sometime in the upcoming weeks. This preparation will involve placing foam insulation on the bare ground and laying re-bar and heat-tubes on top of it to provide structural strength and heat, respectively, to our slab floor. More updates to come, stay posted.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Weekly Weather Update for Our Spring Break Field Trip with Martin County Habitat for Humanity:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Juneau, AK: 36 degrees Fahrenheit with a light rain</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Orlando, FL: 79 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny<o:p></o:p></span></div>JDHS House Building http://www.blogger.com/profile/01650243114429105114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380411142732198939.post-45084943627319408822013-02-14T09:51:00.002-09:002013-10-09T11:23:13.818-08:00The Joy of Painting <br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The process of exterior painting can be described using numerous adjectives. A few that instantly come to mind are monotonous, tedious, mundane, and boring. So, one can understand my bemusement when the students of the JDHS House-Build project expressed excitement upon hearing that their next major project was to paint our house’s siding.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Given that Juneau’s climate does not provide ideal conditions for exterior painting, our painting operation had us situated in the scene room of the Juneau-Douglas High School. But before we could start painting our siding we had to unload it into the scene room first.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds of fiber-cement siding is a difficult task. The material is very flimsy and, if improperly handled, can easily break. So the students employed the potent combination of teamwork and focus to get the job done.<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Once the siding had been unloaded into the scene room, JDHS teacher Andy Bullick gave the students an overview of the painting process, covering everything from preparation and techniques to the all-important step of cleaning up.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Briefed on the basics, the students got to work. With half the group painting and the other half moving unpainted siding to the paint benches and painted siding to our stacking area, the once quiet scene shop had turned into a hub of activity. Pieces of siding were being painted and stacked so quickly that those supervising had a difficult time keeping tabs on everything.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">With all of their hustle-and-bustle, the students required only several hours to get the majority of the siding painted and stored.

After being introduced to the system over the past two weeks the students have been able to use the current week as an opportunity to have the repetition needed for a strong grasp of the techniques used for installing the REMOTE system.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN94-1dJR8IMbPZ7YqTQyt6sgP4YliM7FDBJUVFIp9TQeQhE4y59VGG8BGjhAwfxPdMLkHFq3zHJMezS3O_XED81U7INEpi_ctAEfD39voAKtnRcrUo26Cj5d4DT3m16cMQ0cSRtQi7UGS/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN94-1dJR8IMbPZ7YqTQyt6sgP4YliM7FDBJUVFIp9TQeQhE4y59VGG8BGjhAwfxPdMLkHFq3zHJMezS3O_XED81U7INEpi_ctAEfD39voAKtnRcrUo26Cj5d4DT3m16cMQ0cSRtQi7UGS/s320/002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2pNw-HZTMCPSX9p_-_Q-QHwjRc3fp-myGXsHoa5AWZhsdfwQovhufliTNwb0aZjIzlWXorO273sG9sIG0NBGYV35lM0ul13h267Qo1MxHz17GzoAfFW1G6SBA4rRM22nxjVotfuRtjw9L/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2pNw-HZTMCPSX9p_-_Q-QHwjRc3fp-myGXsHoa5AWZhsdfwQovhufliTNwb0aZjIzlWXorO273sG9sIG0NBGYV35lM0ul13h267Qo1MxHz17GzoAfFW1G6SBA4rRM22nxjVotfuRtjw9L/s320/004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiP1ERImAyBorZdDYa2ZfWVq96t1kZJkc_cFS_eAnT3UiDpj_MgK__Oba9HFUJGVOUzO2NLLS9yWw1LKYyvs_fqEI9LvTITGnrQ5vXb0fFPDmTYkOnDLH-cReAY7v2-BMkYx-s92MaQSR/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiP1ERImAyBorZdDYa2ZfWVq96t1kZJkc_cFS_eAnT3UiDpj_MgK__Oba9HFUJGVOUzO2NLLS9yWw1LKYyvs_fqEI9LvTITGnrQ5vXb0fFPDmTYkOnDLH-cReAY7v2-BMkYx-s92MaQSR/s320/012.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to installing exterior insulation, the students are beginning to get a sense of all the minor, but important, tasks that occur in residential construction.
