MCST Students Donate Birdhouses

Recently the students of the carpentry class donated over thirty bird houses to the Coastal Mountains Land Trust in Camden. At the beginning of every school year each student builds a bird house using only hand tools. The various styled bird houses were designed for bluebirds, saw-whet owls, and wood ducks.

Camden Affordable Housing Project

Recently the carpentry class was asked to build the wall panels for the new affordable house going up in Camden, Maine. We felt this was a worthy cause so the students rolled up their sleeves and went to work! I was really impressed with how much the students accomplished in a very short time. Progress of this house can be seen each week in the Camden Herald (or at the job site!). Good job class! Mr. D.

A Long Week

Today ends a very long week for me. I ran out of gas (along with most of the PM class) around 12:30. As I look out at our buildings I am more than pleased with the progress and a little worried about getting everything finished on time. It will be good to get the walls framed for the affordable housing project next week so that we can concentrate on the finishing touches of your buildings. See you on Monday. Mr. D.
