TINY HOUSE
BUILDING WORKSHOP
11 HOUSES BUILT IN 11 MONTHS
BASIC CARPENTRY SKILLS
FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
|
AS A TEAM, WE WILL FRAME AND SHEATH A TINY HOUSE. WITH A LOFT, AND A 12/12 PITCHED ROOF FRAMED AND SHEATHED. 90% OF THE MATERIAL WILL BE PRE-CUT, ALLOWING US TO BUILD FROM FOUNDATION TO SHEATED ROOF IN TWO 8 HOUR DAYS! NATIVE SOFTWOOD, LOCALLY MILLED WILL BE USED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. |
WORKSHOP NOTES
The pace is that of commercial construction “Go, Go, Go.” Fours walls are up on day one. The instructional style is geared toward absolute beginners with every step explained. Spending a significant amount of time in the lawn chair just watching is expected as students are required to practice sketching, and often times there is simply not room for certain operations and students must observe.
The workshop pace and objectives are of such a scope that the projects taken on need to be orderly and follow a clear operational order. The project is plain vanilla, simple boxes with a twelve pitch roof.
In reality this is not a tiny house building project, but rather a two day framing and sheathing instructional workshop.
The workshop costs $250.00 and goes from 9:00AM to 5:00PM on Saturday and Sunday. Meals and lodging are not included. However, camping is usually available on site.
THE IDEAL STUDENT
The ideal student is someone who wants to build their own tiny house, but lacks the confidence and experience to go it alone. Students can expect to get help learning how to put together a materials list.
THE IDEAL TINY HOUSE PROJECT SPONSOR
The ideal sponsor for a tiny house project is someone who, having been given a great head start with the framing and sheathing through the workshop, expects to be able to finish the house on their own or with local hired help.
