This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
wood badge in
Building.
While building a house may be out of reach at the moment, let's get some practice putting together medium sized structures. Conventional construction with studs is a very efficient way to put up a building. Let's get some more practice with it!
Here are some pictures of what we're after:
And here's a stud framed tiny home build:
