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:


Minimum requirements:
  - At least 100 square feet
       - Maybe a coop, smithy, sugar shack, woofer house, workshop, cabin, etc
  - Fully enclosed
  - At least 2 built-in outlets and a built-in light
  - Studs no more than 24 inches on center
  - As with all PEM badges, no OSB
  - Plywood is allowed but real wood is preferred
  - As with all PEM badges, lesser BBs can be harvested as you complete this project

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Place where the building will be built
  - Framing partially built  
  - Finished framing
  - Completed building showing size and electrical details
 
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead, that tiny ad sure bled
