The homes are built in our IDEA shop by our deaf carpenters. We are not able to go down to a Home Depot and buy the lumber. Instead we have to order the lumber rough cut by chainsaw and then bring it into our shop to mill it down to ship-lap siding and studs. It is a very labor and equipment intensive effort. The homes are then either built in knockdown form or totally assembled and delivered to the building site on a trailer or truck.
INTERPRETER’S TRAINING
An activity organized by IDEA to help the children of deaf parents communicate more openly with their parents and to serve as interpreters when requested by the other deaf.
