Previous Workshops Since 2004, Phoenix Hill Renovations’ owner, Mickel Zuidhoek, has been teaching “Real-Life Renovation”at Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Warren, Vermont.
Renovation workshop projects have included remodeling the school’s chalet for future intern accommodation, and the renovation in a private home. This remodeling project featured instruction in building a temporary support wall, removing an exterior load bearing wall, rebuilding the wall and installing two new windows and a door, and re-siding the exterior with board and batten. The private home renovation included building temporary support walls before removing a load-bearing wall, and replacing it with a structural beam and a support post made from a solid maple tree trunk.
Students also removed an existing entry door and replaced that with a window. In addition, students installed a new entry door, and framed and sheet-rocked an opening for a pantry. |
