Mr. Scott’s block 7/8 Construction Tech class just recently completed an on site shed for Assistant Principal Derek Anderson, that measured 10′ x 12′ and had a 12″/12″ pitch. The shed also had a loft for storage.
Students that took part in the building process were Anthony Moyer, Blake Bauer, Tanner Novotny and Paxton Veatch. Students got first hand experience and became more familiar with the parts of a building and the latest construction methods. They also learned how to shingle a building and put on the roof cap all while using toe holds.
Construction Tech is open to all students who have successfully completed Woods as a prerequisite. Students learned that they have to put up with various weather conditions as building must go on rain or shine. This year was an exceptional year for good weather, but it is not always that way. Good job boys! The building looks very nice!
Students Tanner Novotny, Anthony Moyer, Blake Bauer and Paxton Veatch are also busy replacing the uneven sidewalk in front of the Fairbury Assembly of God Church. Pastor Randy Novotny approached the class to see if they would be interested in doing some concrete work. This is a great opportunity for the boys. They will learn how to make and level the forms, install rebar, calculate how many yards of concrete will be needed, and utilize various tools to smooth out the surface once it has been poured. Right now we are finishing up removal of the old sidewalk.
A great big thank you to Paul Aden as he volunteered to help with his military Unimog tractor. The tractor is equipped with a front end loader and has a high ground clearance. We plan on pouring cement soon, weather permitting. Good job boys! A great service to your community while learning some aspects of pouring concrete. A person must ensure to use a top rated Denver mudjacking company to ensure laying down a firm and steady foundation.
