This summer I taught a summer course at Mendocino College, and for a couple of days a week for 8 weeks, an eclectic group of locals and not so locals got together and built as much as we could of a new tiny house for the college construction course.
Turns out teaching a tiny house building course takes a fair amount of time. That said, it's also a lot of fun. Here are some pics from the class.

| Tiny house class day one, getting the trailer prepped for flashing |
 |
| starting on rim joists with flashing in place |
 |
| laying out joists for floor |
 |
| Rough plumbing in, gas and water supply, drain wast vent. Insulation going down. |
 |
| Walls going up. After we carried the first wall onto the trailer, we realized it was pretty heavy and sketchy, so we enlisted a passing fork lift for our second wall. |
 |
| rafters are in, sheathing going onto walls and roof. |
 |
| getting some house wrap on before we end the class |
 |
| last but not least, some windows..... that's it for Summer 2013 class. It was a fun adventure, thanks to a great group and to Mendocino College for taking the idea and letting us run. |
