Great course. Learned several things I hadnât thought of. Doesnât get into â how toâ of plumbing, electrical, etc but gives good overview of the components. You can learn the âhow toâ on YouTube or a book. But I thought I wasnât going to learn stuff as Iâve done lots of research and I learned far more than I thought. One of the best overviews of utilities Iâve seen and itâs not typically covered well elsewhere. Only feedback is it would be good to see more green building and âsmartâ tech ideas in here from an energy and cost savings perspective. We are willing to pay more upfront for good systems since tiny is cheaper. I would like knowing more about that end of things in tiny utilities. Still, great course.
She gives so much detail especially of things I did not even think of. Also nice because she lives in a tiny home and has off hand experience. She gives all the choices and says what she is using and why. Excellent. Thank you.
Great overview of utilities and systems can be used in a tiny house.
Very helpful, thank you đ
I'm taking all four of the Tiny House courses by this instructor. Part 3 is organized and presented similarly to the first two and is straightforward and as comprehensive as a course of this nature should be expected. When an entire subject is not covered, additional resources are provided.
Very informative, laid out the information really well.
