Busy Builders



Today was a big day for the Norris house. It seemed like a lot of things that we have been working towards in the past couple of weeks have progressed into the construction stage. Downstairs in the wood shop Jimmy started assembling the first window frame for the house. The dormer team (Arya, Michele, and Samuel) made their first cuts for the dormer’s construction after a couple weeks of building study models and revising drawings. It will be so neat to see both of these things become real in the next week or so! Upstairs, Chris and Patrick were busy getting together a rendering of the exterior of the Norris House so we can show off its design as we move toward on-site construction.

I think all of the students involved with the Norris House are beginning to realize how important the scheduling and organization of the different construction-related tasks are. There are always so many different duties at hand- materials deliveries, drawing completions, as well as communication with involved outside parties. It definitely takes a bit of juggling and a serious commitment for things to run smoothly!
