Finishing off the decade strong with Brody and Gavin capping the roof; Harry, Mason, Cody and Amir hanging some siding, and Avery and Kirill working on the last bit of soffit. You guys have certainly earned a break, enjoy the holidays!

[Ryan Weston @DCGweston]

In the last few weeks we've spent time preparing for a few of the finishing touches like roofing and siding. Today felt like we started making some good progress. I appreciate the work ethic and upbeat attitude these kids bring with them everyday! Thank you gentlemen!

Box Joint guitar by Brock Wolf. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing the creativity and uniqueness of my students and it becomes easy to see on the final box project in this class. Awesome job Brock!
