Construction Class at Lester Prairie Schools

Every spring semester, the Lester Prairie Construction class taught by Mr. Scoblic builds sheds. Four are built each year. All materials are purchased from RAM Buildings. The sheds are 8’x12’ and delivered free of charge by the class. “We built a trailer in our Welding class and are able to deliver the sheds to the site” states Scoblic.

The students learn the various aspects of construction by power point presentations and then go directly out and use the knowledge just learned to build the sheds.

The class is divided into two crews. Each crew builds a shed. When completed, they turn around and build two more. “It is amazing how much faster the second two sheds get built” stated Scoblic. “If people are interested in a shed, we have custom built some. We have put windows and sun lights etc. in different ones. You just need to purchase the additional features ahead of time and we’ll put them in for you.”

Each year we custom build one for Running’s in Hutchinson.

They sell the spring/summer greenhouse items out of it and then sell it in the fall.

We have one 8’x12’ storage shed for sale now.

The 3^rd shed we are going to build is a “garden shed” with the doors on the side instead of the end, a window, and a plant box under the window. The 4^th shed would be another storage shed, unless enough people were interested, we could build 2 garden sheds.

We are asking $1200 per shed. The cost covers materials. If there is any money left over after paying the bills, it goes back into the Construction class for tools.

For additional information on the sheds, call Lester Prairie Schools at 395-2521 and ask for Joe Scoblic.
