Learned basic carpentry and plumbing from Yavapai Community College Instructor Aaron Rodriguez during the course that runs 3 ½ weeks | Donated house to Humane Society

Cottonwood Community School eighth graders who completed a basic career and technical education carpentry and plumbing program at Yavapai Community College’s Verde Valley Campus celebrated their newly obtained skills by constructing a doghouse. The doghouse is described as custom-made, 2-by-4-feet, insulated and taupe-colored.

The program for these students lasted  3 ½ weeks and was taught by  Mr. Aaron Rodriguez.

In a press release from Yavapai Community College, Mr. Rodriquez explained that “Everything that we did, we discussed and considered how the dogs would feel about it.” The house has a 10-inch roof overhang that was designed to offer outdoor shade and the above-the-floor door opening was incorporated to keep the dwelling spider-free.
