Is this shed for you? Made by skilled trades students at BIA’s Enzweiler Institute, it is one of a kind

Staff report

It’s the holiday season and time for practical giving. Need to surprise your special someone with a he-shed and she-shed or a playhouse or a storage facility.

The junior and senior high school students in the “Introduction to the Skilled Trades” program at the Building Industry Association’s Enzweiler Building Institute finished this lovely, useful 10′ x 16′ shed just in time for you to check off your wish list.

The program teaches juniors and seniors a wide variety of skills in the building industry and aligns with the Kentucky Career and Technical Education “Building and Apartment Maintenance” curriculum.

The program is heavily rooted in carpentry tasks but provides students with exposure to other career opportunities, including electric, HVAC, plumbing, welding, and masonry.

Students from the four Boone County District high schools and Ludlow High School did the work on this shed.

It is available for sale for the asking price of $2,500 plus the cost of moving it to the intended location.

Best of all — the proceeds from its sale will go back into the program, enabling the students to build another shed in 2022.

Interested parties should contact Ms. Claus, Vicki Berling, at 859-640-4294 or vicki@buildersnky.com. She is director of Professional Development at Enzweiler and will keep your secret ’til Christmas.

The Enzweiler Building Institute was established in 1967 by the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky (DBA Building Industry Association of Northern Kentucky). It is licensed by the Kentucky Commission on Proprietary Education to provide eight programs (carpentry, diesel mechanics for construction equipment, electric, facilities maintenance, HVAC, masonry, plumbing and welding) and is approved by the Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet to provide training in electric, heating, venting and air conditioning (HVAC), and plumbing.

And, starting in high school, it trains young students for possible careers in the building industry — and develops practical skills like those used to make this custom shed.
