End of the semester

In my Construction/framing systems lab at school we build a scaled down model of an actual house. We worked on it all semester, one day a week for 2 and a half hours, and a couple other days to catch up. I was in a group of 2 while everyone else had at least 3 people in their group, but it looks like 2 was enough in our case. Neither me or my partner had room to take him home with us, so we had to leave him there, but it is ok our professor told us that he would find a home for all the orphaned houses. I felt like I was leaving my first born child though. :( I did give him a name before I left, Cleon Constance




If you look closely at the roof you will notice that we were very ready to just get our grade and leave. It takes much longer to sheet a roof than I ever thought it could. I think we completely assembled and sheeted the front part of the roof in about 10 minutes. It should have taken us much longer than that......

As you can tell no one should hire me to build them a house just yet, maybe someday though.
