A Comprehensive 101
This is going to be a conversation about the various types of construction you may use when building your tiny house. I will talk about standard framing practices, advanced framing techniques, steel stud construction and SIPs. The great thing about tiny homes is that even the most complex house is pretty basic. Even though this will be a bit more 'technical' information I hope it stays simple enough for those not in the construction industry.
In addition to framing options I will get into insulation types, pros/cons and tiny house specific considerations and suggestions when it comes to moisture protection, fasteners, attaching to your foundation and more. This will MOSTLY focus on tiny houses on wheels. I also hope to give you a basic understanding of tools needed for the task and important safety info!

Good coverage of all building materials used and love the diagrams.
She answered a lot of the questions I had before I could even ask them. Very informative especially in the pros and cons of different methods and materials and why some maybe better depending on your project.
good experience, would be better if some practical photographs or videos are included
Excellent information! Thank you đ
The content is good so far. Kinda slow paced but it appears to be fairly thorough. Unfortunately some of the links in the resources are invalid.
A great course to break down the basics of construction, and compare and contrast different options during the build. Definitely super helpful for someone like myself who has no prior construction experience.
Quite informative and detailed explanations given. Excellent presentation.
Very slow for me (I know you can speed it up). Useful information but very monotonous for my taste. I would like more hands-on, going outside, showing actual examples...
Learning so much and absolutely loving the course!
