[Music] >>Bill Bessette: Not too many open houses
come with a three-piece band, but this isn't your typical home showing.
[People entering home] Students in Madison College's Construction
and Remodeling program built this one-thousand-plus square foot home during the past school year.
It has two bedrooms, a large
kitchen/dining area, living room and bathroom. The home is super energy efficient and many
of the building materials are recycled. >>Sandy Thistle/Construction and Remodeling
Instructor: What I really love about this house is we take materials that have been
ripped out of previous buildings and we reuse
them. So the flooring is all reused flooring. The same with the beams - the beams are pulled
out of an old building, they're cleaned up and we reused them.
>>Bill: The cost of the house is between $60,000 and $72,000 depending on the finishing features
and materials the owner selects. To find out what else Madison College
students are building, go to www.cabins.madisoncollege.edu. For Madison College Minute, I'm Bill Bessette.
