Thoughts about finishing up – Dennis’s class – part 2
Awesome, building the house from the ground up watching it come together and having lots of fun.
Writing for the blog was the biggest challenge for me.

I feel really good and happy to see the house finished and having learnt more about how to build a house from the start to finish.
The big challenge of this build is that it takes a while getting into it, how to build step by step and then when it came to finishing it.

Good to be finished, it was everyone’s first house and we learnt heaps.
Putting up trusses – it took a while to get used to being high and climbing around.
Linea weather boards were crap to drill, and cutting was dusty as, definitely needed masks and glasses.

I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, being the first house build I have been involved with from start to finish.

The house build was really good; it feels great to say I’ve built a house from nothing. To go out there and see what that bit of dirt turned into is cool as.
I think the hardest part about the build was having to write for the blog. Everything was its own challenge as most of it was all new to me, but with the help of the tutors and other guys I learnt quick as and got the hang of it all. I think the practical side of this course, building the house, has made me learn a lot more than just sitting in a classroom.
