1. Choosing the best site for the shelter
2. Excavating 4-foot foundation holes and checking for correct depth and location
3. Lowering the posts into the holes with a concrete footing attached to them
4. Before attaching the beams, students had to figure out how to center them...
5. ...and where to pre-drill for bolts.
6. Laying out exact beam measurements
7. Bolting the rafters into place on the beam
8. Attaching stringers across the rafters, and braces between the beams and posts
9. A finished shelter, exactly as planned
