The doors are on and cleanup is done. The Chesapeake Center for Youth Development's Building Trades Program participants have completed their largest newly constructed structure! As seen below the new shed is 12ft x 8ft x approximately 18 feet tall. Check out the photos and captions below to find out the details.

This is incredible! I hadn't realized the size of the thing until I saw someone standing next to it. Niiiice job! I like the transparent section at the top-front. Natural light makes for cheap electric bills. You and your guys are talented! keep up the posts!
