Kingwood High School's second Tiny Home Project has advanced to the stage where it is weather-proofed and ready for the interior work to begin!
Before the interior walls and paneling go up, the building crew kept up with a popular Tiny Home tradition. Students, guests, teachers, and the Tiny Home crew all took a moment to write a "note of love" or encouragement. These notes were then placed in, or actually written on the interior walls and studs of the home.
"It's a tradition of our Tiny Homes project," said KHS Senior Tate Odom. "Especially since our home is destined to go to a Veteran in need."
In some cases, the notes were written on paper and stapled to the interior walls, or guests used markers to write on the studs.
"Soon, the interior cabinets and paneling will hide the messages, but they will always be a part of the foundation," said KHS Construction Management teacher Shellie Dick.
The Tiny Home project is currently happening at Kingwood, Summer Creek, and Kingwood Park High Schools in Humble ISD. The tiny homes will be delivered to private property in Liberty County that has been set aside for homeless veterans to restart their lives.
The Construction Management classes do all of the work from design ideas, blueprints, material decision and purchase, and then physically build the home. Local construction businesses will often donate money, materials, or even more important; their personal guidance and advice.
Local furniture company, Skero's donates furniture and helps to "stage the home" for the final part of the project.
