• On the following pages, you will see some photos showing the progress that is being made on “THE HOUSE” that is being built by the 2012-2013 Building Trades II class.  A little bit of background information regarding the house itself might be useful.

    As you view the photos you might notice that the initial stages of construction are not typical of what you might see in home construction in this area.  Since this house will be auctioned-off at the end of the school year, it has to be constructed in such a way that it can be lifted by a crane, put on a flat bed trailer then transported to the site. 

    In order to accomplish this, the house will be built in two, approximately 12 foot by 56 foot sections here at Potters Road then “married” together on site. A system of piers holding up both sections is utilized. Once it reaches its’ site, it will be lifted onto a foundation wall system with a basement component.  To the casual viewer, the house will appear to have been built right where it sits.
