My Background • Interested in construction from a young age • Took 5 sections of woodshop in high school
Future Implications • Attending Stick Building University this fall • Majoring in Construction Technology • Would enjoy owning a construction company
Identifying the Project • Upgrade desperately needed for the guest bathroom in my parent’s house • Water damage from the sink, shower, and toilet • Complete demolition and rebuild • Removal of moldy materials • Reframing the room and changing the dimensions
Identifying the Project Continued… • Needs a tile floor (including sub floor) • Updates necessary for heating ducts • New PEX plumbing needed throughout • New sink, shower, and toilet • Complete redo of electrical, sheetrock, and paint
Skills I Needed to Learn • Demolishing and removing materials • Framing a room • Plumbing with PEX pipe and fittings • Inserting junction boxes, rewiring outlets/switches, and lights
Skills Continued… • Installing a sink, toilet, and one piece shower/bath • Tiling • Hanging sheetrock, taping, texturing, and painting
My Timeline • September 2010: ask Sticky Stickmasterson to be my mentor • October 2010: complete my research paper—with help from the Internet, How-to Books, and Sticky Stickmasterson • November 2010: meet with Sticky and then begin demolition • December 2010: complete 30 hours of work—fixing the duct work and replacing the subfloor • January 2011: meet with Sticky—have him help me with framing, plumbing, installing tub, and completing electrical—30 more hours of work • February 2011: install the tile floor, grout, caulk, sheetrock, tape, and paint—Sticky will guide me throughout this process—another 30 hours of work—the project should be complete!!!
