Site Preparation

Mr. Kieffer prepping the site with treated 4x4 that will be leveled to create skids for the structure. 

Site Preparation
​Michael is building up and tamping down some gravel, so we will have a firm, level foundation.

​Building the Floor.
​Michael and Gwyn creating a box for the first floor. They are working on hammer skills and creating flush square corners. We used steel square and the pythagorean theorem to find square.

Saw Safety

Mr. Kieffer shows the class how to safely work the chop saw. 

Finding Square

Mr. Kieffer explains how to quickly check if something is square using the steel square. We later used the Pythagorean Theorem to check if it was square but found out we had cut the lumber wrong. We forgot to allow for 1.5" on each side of the floor. Luckily nothing was in place yet. #mathforthewin
