Minuteman's residential Carpentry program provides training in all aspects of residential construction, as well as energy-saving and super-insulation techniques. Students acquire a solid foundation in the areas of: safe use of hand and power tools, measuring and cutting, accuracy with levels, rulers, and squares, interpreting drawings and blueprints, and door, window, kitchen, and bath installations. Students also erect concrete forms, wood frame structures, floor joists, stud wall partitions, subflooring, sheathing, stairs, rafter installation, roofing, and siding.
