No, not the big brick buildings. The small wooden ones in the back.
Rappahannock County High School’s Building Trades classes have completed a 12-week project. The result? Two 8x20-foot utility sheds.

The walls were built in the shop, then we raised all four walls in one day. That was a pretty exciting day — to see it all come together. ”
“I was real careful to make sure that they 'only used hand tools and
