PABLO — Salish Kootenai College’s Building Trades Program has a one-of-a-kind tiny home for sale and is looking for students to construct another home this spring.
From May 15 to June 9, students can receive hands-on training and learn basic skills in construction safety, reading blueprints, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall—all while building a tiny home.
The program is selling its first completed house to raise funds for the program to build more homes. The 200 square-foot house has a cathedral, open-beam ceiling, kitchenette and full bath. It was built with locally obtained, quality materials, constructed under the strict guidance of a highly qualified instructor, and would make an ideal home office, starter home, guest house, or home for a retiree.
If interested in buying the house and supporting the program, contact Audrey Plouffe at Salish Kootenai College, P.O. Box 70, Pablo, MT, 59855, or call 406-275-4969. The minimum bid is $28,000; refer to the sealed bid announcement in the classifieds section of this newspaper for more information.
To apply for the program or learn more about it, contact SKC Admissions at admissions@skc.edu or call 406-275-4855. Applications are due May 12.
