The Latest on the Building Trades House
by Marv Carlton, Building Trades Instructor
We have just finished shingling
the roof and are now on the inside doing framing in preparation for
drywall. At this point, the plumbing, HVAC and electrical are
completely roughed in, the basement floor has been poured and the
basement stairs have been installed.

Erik P. is relocating the doorway at the top of the basement stairs. |
| Andrew H. takes a measurement
for angle backing in the upper corner of the master bedroom tray ceiling. |

We are currently in the process
of building the bay window in the breakfast area, framing five
arched openings in various places, and finishing up the tray
ceiling in the master bedroom.
In about one week,
after we have done a few other minor miscellaneous things, we will
be ready for our rough inspection. Once that has passed, we can
proceed with insulation and then drywall.
