Home Work I feel like I've accomplished something because I can look back and see my progress as the year goes along, stated Arthur Dayton as he expressed his feelings on the Building Trades class offered at Blue River. The class has been offered at Blue River for 14 years. The first two years the class worked on remodeling around the school. Every year for the past 12 years, they have completely built a house from the ground up. They do all the construction that goes into the house except for the plumbing and electrical work. ”1 like framing the walls and hanging drywall because I plan on using it as part of my career, stated Jerry Johnson. Last year as the house was being planned, the school along with the instructor John Wall chose to build in a housing addition close to the school. The school alotted $65,000 for the house and it sold for $72,500. The class used the extra money to buy tools and supplies. Other than working on the house, the class went on occasional field trips which informed them about various aspects of their trade. One of the trips involved going to the home show in Indianapolis where a modernized house was on display. Besides field trips, students from the class participated in a national contest to show their skill in carpentry. The contest consisted of complefing a given task in a specific time period. Contestants were judged on their speed and accuracy. I plan to take Building Trades Class again next year because I feel thaf fhe hands on experience that the class affords me will be most useful in my future, stated John Sigman.
