Hanging Drywall
Construction students began hanging drywall in the room renovation. Installation began with students standing a sheet of drywall against the metal studs in one corner of the structure. Drywall screws were used with an electric screwdriver to secure the drywall to the stud locations. These stud locations were measured and marked when cutting the drywall.
Insulation and Mudding
Construction students finished insulating the new wall and have started hanging drywall on the other side. While the other side is being hung, students work on mudding the first side to get ready for painting soon.

Construction students started working on building cabinets and constructing a door frame.
