Update!: John Eager Howard Elementary Garden Shed Underway!

Update: I'm sorry that I haven't posted documentation of all the cool stuff that the CCYD Building Trades participants have been up to for the last few months. Whew! This summer was busy! Scroll to the bottom to see a few pics of the finished product.

    Two weeks ago the CCYD Building Trades Program began construction of a garden shed at John Eager Howard Elementary school. The shed will have two entrances, garden tool racks, and a green roof.

The end of day 1



We begin to add blocking to allow sheathing to fit neatly over footings


Installing the joists




More blocking and a sheathed roof


Installing the perimeter which will hold in the multiple layers that make up a green roof



Some of the last bit of blocking





Sorry for the blurriness of this one


We finished it shortly after the initial blog post for this project. It's ready to be planted and is ready for a custom paint job by the students of John Eager Howard!
