Building Houses

We want to know
-how do they get up on the top of the roof and make the roof, they don't bring ladders, they can't even stand on the roof because it's not even made yet, so how do they do that?
-if houses can lift up a house
-is a bigger house stronger than a littler house or are they same size

What we did
-sang "The Wise Man" and talked about the symbolism of Christ being the solid foundation to build upon, and Satan being the sandy foundation.
-drove around to construction sites at different stages and took pictures
-treehouse building game

-built a house with a styrofoam foundation, skewers for 2x4's, poster board for wood boards, foam board for dry wall and a poster board and skewers for the roof. We carpeted the floor, made stairs, and put shingles on the roof. Ezra and Noah painted it.
-talked about the contractor and subcontractors
