Merry Christmas

 

The afternoon crew: Will, Josh, Ethan, Zach, Tyler, Allen, Jeremiah, Tim,and Frankie. I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We were able to send off the 8x12 office to it's new home and get the 14x24 Sap House sealed up for the Holidays. I have been very pleased with the effort both classes have put into their projects. We still have a fair amount of work to do outside when we return from vacation so eat up and enjoy the time off because I need you all rested up for when you get back. Peace and Good Will Toward Men. God bless. Mr.D

Here is the almost finished product ready to be delivered. If you get a chance, go to the Camden Car Wash on Washington Street (Route 105)in Camden and drive around back and see the office in use. Get your car washed while you are there and tell Chris that the MCST students sent you.

The afternoon class took the time out of a busy day to pose for this picture. They don't scare me.

Rafter Day

 

By the end of class today, the afternoon students had all of the rafters installed. It helped that several of the morning students cut the rafters, set up some of the scaffold, and layed out the ridge and top plates. I hope to have the roof sheathed in tomorrow. It was great to have a visit from former student Billine today. I'm afraid I was too busy to take her picture. Mr.D
