Cabin in the woods
Project type
Mentoring Project
Date
May 2024
Location
Rural Connecticut
My college roommate, who knows about my passion for building and making things, told me that his cousin and a friend had a senior project for high school. They wanted to build a cabin at their summer house, but there was one issue: they had never used power tools before. That’s where I came in. With my experience and knowledge of construction and tool usage, I stepped in to help. Over the course of four days, I taught these two high school seniors and my roommate a variety of woodworking skills and the process of building a structure. With plenty of guidance from me, they managed to construct most of the cabin themselves. To wrap up the project, I installed the laminate flooring throughout the cabin. It was a rewarding experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed mentoring them throughout the process.
