Curriculum 

1. Design, we will begin with the design phase. This will also include a field trip where we will meet and walk through some tiny home models that are already built and being sold.
2. Codes and permits. The next part will be creating a plan to build, we will be completed blueprint drawings complete with design, measurements all to code.
3. Once that is done we will have a brief sit down in our pre planning phase with a plumber and electrician so they can go over our design letting us know any specifics they require before we start framing. They will help us understand the specific codes to follow so our tiny home will pass inspection.
4. Cut, build… now that we have completed our plans, we have our draw ups, we have a plan approved by a licensed plumber and electrician the fun can start! We will work in teams and we will begin the building process.
5. Once we have the project framed we will begin closing in the studs we will have the plumber and electricians back to help teach us how to run the plumbing and electrical throughout. They will assist us in installing a panel, running all the plumbing lines and installing fresh water and sewage water tanks.
6. Next we will begin putting up our interior and exterior walls. We will Tyvek the exterior and start to complete the roof and installing windows.
7. We will then begin working on interior and exterior finishing including flooring, siding, painting, adding steel to the roof.
