Collegiate Challenge: Week 4

Centre College in Danville, Kentucky and St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota joined us for Week 4 of Collegiate Challenge.  
Members of the St. Olaf group were excited be in a place with such a rich history and used their day off as a history day where they visited Fort Sumter and learned about the Civil War.
Centre College came up with another great ice breaker to add to our repertoire. Everyone had to tell their favorite dance move and then demonstrate.  It was a great way to get the blood flowing early in the morning.
The main goal for the week was prep the house for siding and shingles. Some of the projects included sheathing the roof, finishing sub fascia, installing the drip edge, laying tar paper, finishing the water table and installing the starter strip of siding.  We also had a group that helped to finish installing the SIP roof on the Net Zero House.  It was a great week!
