Director Matt Puckett said the building trades students did an
outstanding job and have a great partnership with LTEC and Lincoln
Community High School.
Puckett said LTEC has been given three lots and three houses will be
built over the next six years. This one is the first of the three
houses.
Puckett said LTEC will partner next year with Habitat for Humanity
and "we share resources [with Habitat], provide manpower, and give
the kids experience in building." He said the more affordable
housing we can build for Lincoln, the better.
Puckett said 26 students are signed up for the building trades
program next year and "we are lucky to have a great teacher showing
them how to build a house. Very few instructors in the state can
actually build a house. "

Building Trades Instructor Justin Dietrich said the house available
today is "One of my personal favorites we have done, and the
cathedral ceiling and open concept make it feel bigger than 1,200
square feet."

still efficient and the master bedroom has a large walk-in
closet.
