Rain continues to pound on the roof...

Rain contiunues to stall outdoor activity for all of Western North Carolina. Students at Haywood Community College are taking advantage of this forced opportunity to brush up on some paperwork that is required for the Research Demonstration House.

Footers completed before the Week of Rain Hits.

Students Luke Peterson, Colby Stamey, Trent Burgess, and Nickolas "Mayhem" Maynard came in early for the concrete pour at the Research Demonstration House on the week of the 14th of Sept. We had help from local concrete pumper Van Allison, and the students got to ask Van all kinds of questions about the concrete pump while we were waiting between concrete trucks. Make sure and check in to see the progress of the Research Demonstration house made possible in a large part by the USDA Forest Products Lab.
