Building trades teacher Greg Morris gave school board members a tour of a tiny house being constructed by students in his department. 

The 200 square-foot home is 27 feet long, built on a custom designed trailer with about 4.5 inches of insulation in the bed. The home already has a metal roof and vinyl siding.

Soon, students will have a hot-water heater mounted to the front and a mini-heating and air-conditioning system.

A small kitchen area will have cabinets, a countertop and a fold-out dining table, as well as space for appliances. A sleeping area is large enough for a full-size bed. 

"The bathroom is probably going to have a sliding barn door," Morris added as he walked to the other side of the trailer.

"There's a shower on the right, and then a sink and toilet."

Morris said the trailer is "about 85 percent" complete. Once it's finished, the school district will sell it to recoup the cost of materials. 

Morris said a local auctioneer has agreed to auction the home at no cost to the district.
