Description:
Figure No. 1
Because the project sat idle for a few weeks this summer some minor corrections need to be made to the structure. In this case the instructor instructs a student where to clamp and re-nail a corner of the fireplace. These real life "pick up" items are a common place in all areas of construction and students are expected to make it right before they move on.

Figure No. 2
Students use a measuring tape almost every day. In this instance a student is measuring an overhang where he will figure out the amount of material he will need to complete the task.

Figure No. 3
Students use plywood and pieces of lumber as scrap paper while working on a project. The student in this picture is calculating the length of lumber necessary to span the fascia. Students make these calculations and the instructor checks their work. As they are told- measure twice, cut once.
