COVID Shutdown! Week 8 March 16- 20 School Closure....We are now Online

With the advent of the Coronavirus school shutdown all classes will be done online. Let me repeat that, all school classes for the foreseeable future will be held online.

 Being a construction class this will pose some interesting problems.  So I am hoping we can make the best of the current situation. Classes from here on out will be done online.

This Week:

Classes during the week of March 16-20 will begin on Wednesday, March 18th.

NOTE: Once you have watched the videos go to your Google Classroom and select completed assignment. I will then check webpage and update grades.

This week I would like for you to watch some video's on how to frame a house. Check the following video out.  Cutting Roof Rafters


Here is a link to a website that talks about the concept we just watched on the video.

Residential Electrical Wiring

Please watch the video on residential electrical wiring. The video was made in Canada but for the most part, materials are similar. In America, for residential construction, the blue plastic boxes are used in lieu of the metal boxes. Metal boxes are mainly used in commercial jobs. The first video shows how to install an electrical outlet, which when I am back you will be required to do.


The 2nd video explains how electricity flows. The video explains what ground, neutral and hot wires are.
