Fri-Day (2/16/24) At Da Tiny Home!

Happy Friday on a Monday All!

At least this was a Happy Friday for everyone at the Tiny Home!!

Paul’s BBQ Right Before The School Break!!! Burgers and Dogs W/All Da Fixins, Yum.

(We did do some work though, in the form of volunteer David Preaus of Creative Cabinetry measuring and speaking about the kitchen and bathroom cabinets he is designing and having built for us plus some of the in’s and out’s he is experiencing in the process, thank you - David!

We also got a talk about fitting PV solar in our scope from volunteer Eric Westerhoff of Innovative Energy inside the home and then followed him out to his truck for a demo. Complete with a real, but small panel, an example of a safe secure cabinet with a battery, some actual solar controls, and a couple of spot lights that glowed from the power the panel was converting on the spot, thanks too Eric!)

CURRENT BUILD

Summit High School ADU

2026-2027 school year

This year's Careers in Construction project is a two-bedroom, one-bath modular ADU being constructed by Summit High School students alongside local trades professionals.

The two modular sections are being built at the high school and will be transported to Summit Cove, where they'll become part of a permanent residence for a local homeowner.
