Tiny House Dry-In - Sheathing and Windows
Sheathing creates a continuous barrier around your house, keeping weather and wind out, AND it reinforces the structure by creating lateral stability. Learn the theory of drying-in a house, and get hands on practice on the 2024 tiny house project.
Who is this class for:
Hammerstone courses are open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men.
Prerequisite:
While this course has no explicit prerequisite, we highly recommend that students attend a 2-Day Basic Carpentry Skills course or equivalent before this course. In Tiny House Dry-In - Sheathing and Windows we review all content covered in our 2-Day Basic Carpentry Skills course, but at a faster pace.
Description:
Next to structural integrity, moisture management may be the most important consideration in quality home construction. Protect your investment by ensuring that your building assemblies keep water (and rot) out. This course covers how to correctly install sheathing and windows in the correct way so that water sheds to the outside and materials are allowed to dry. This class is perfect for those interested in new construction and renovations alike.
In this class we install sheathing and windows on the tiny house started in our Rough Framing - Build a Tiny House course.
