Carpentry Students Build New Home in Columbia

Carpentry students have been busy this year on a production assignment in Columbia, Connecticut. Under the supervision of Department Head Cliff Thomas and instructor Vincent Grimaldi, the students are constructing a 2000 square foot contemporary colonial with 3 bedrooms, a cathedral ceiling in the living and dining room areas, a cantilevered balcony in the back and a walk out basement. The design calls for a lot of engineered lumber such as Microlam beams, TGI joists and OSB sheathing. Below are some photos of the students at work on the project in the initial stages.

See photos of the project as of May, 2007.
