The house completed by the Building Trades Program in Taylorville is complete and on the market.  Led by Teacher Matt Blomquist, the building trades program worked for two years with COVID and other setbacks to make sure the house was ready and complete at 727 W Vandeveer in Taylorville. Blomquist says he’s proud of the hard work the students put in to make the house ready to go. 

Blomquist says that the building is very efficient when it comes to energy. 

The home also protects against moisture and humidity. Blomquist says the students prided themselves on having a home that was up to standard and code and was ready for people to move in right away.

The Building Trades Program is now starting on a new house.

The house already has a couple of interested buyers and is being sold by Craggs Realtors. Features of the house include:  Energy Efficiency Features, Triple glazed Marvin casement windows, Trane brand high-efficiency heat pump heating/cooling, and all LED lighting.
