After the successful sale of last year of the home built by Forest Lake construction students in the parking lot of their school, the are at it again! The 3BR/2BA rambler built by Forest Lake High School Students in the previous year sold for $65,000 and was moved by its ne
w owners to its permanent location this past spring. The proceeds from the sale of the home were put right back into the next project for the District 831 high school. That new construction endeavor began with the school year in September.
I have it on good authority that because of this real world building project, the shop classes in Forest Lake High School have a waiting list! Beginning woodshop is the stepping stone to working on a real world construction project.
As you can see, the first quarter students made excellent progress on the home. The framing is done and the windows and doors are installed and roofing is finished; the siding is nearly complete as well on the modest rambler. It also looks like this year there might be a detached garage for sale along with the house. The roofing is well underway for that structure too. Just in time for to keep the elements out as old man winter is starting to arrive in Minnesota. Our first big snow could be any day. Working in a real environment gives a real timeline to the construction process.
As a Realtor in the north metro, I have watched the construction of many homes throughout the Forest Lake School District. From what I can see, there is not a crew out there that can match the passion and dedication as the construction students of the Forest Lake Rangers! It will be a fun project to watch to completion!
