Collegiate Challenge: Northeastern University

This week marked the beginning of Collegiate Challenge. We will have nine colleges and universities joining throughout the month of March for their Spring Breaks. So, March should be a very productive month!
 Six students from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts made the 18 hour drive to join us for the week. There were five girls and one guy. Juan, the only guy, likes to refer to the girls as his moms. Needless to say, the group kept us laughing. Not only were they tons of fun, but they were very productive. They framed all of the exterior and interior walls of the house and began to sheath it in OSB.  Everyone was surprised at how good they got at hammering over the course of the week.  We hope to see Northeastern again next year!
Here are some pictures that capture our week:
