Our Perseus House Work Experience Program has taken on several large projects this year. With the leadership of Mr. Henry Kopnitsky the boys and girls at our residential programs have learned many new skills that will help them continuously throughout their lives. They are not only learning about tools and craftmanship, but how to work as a team and finish projects on time.

Now that the weather is a little warmer the clients can start to work outside. These boys are securing an old barn door on the Brighter Horizon's property. The boys first framed the door with 2 x 4's.

They then used rough cut lumber that were random widths.

The boys cut the boards to length and then screwed them in place.

The materials used in this project included: a circular saw, drills, measuring tape, lumber and deck screws. This project shows just how important teamwork is and how learning new carpentry skills can be very rewarding.
