SkillsUSA 2013 – the day before

So how do you complete a bathroom remodel in 5 days, build a house in 7, or pull off a 35 Million Dollar contest involving over 6,000 students from over 50 states in basically 4 days and make it look easy? Well the answer is pretty much the same, logistics & a lot of hard work done behind the scene. Here is a look at some of the competition areas two days before the actual competition officially kicks off (though for some students the fun actually starts today).
