During the 2015-2016 school year, three students – Katie Austin, Derek Pansze and Connor Whitesell – began construction on a tiny house as part of their senior project.

Because its parking lot is overflowing, the school is selling the shell as is, along with the to-be-installed windows, insulation and trailer that serves as the foundation. All proceeds benefit the school.

Bidding closes at midnight Wednesday for the 136-feet-square house – 8.5 feet wide, 16 feet long – and the winner is asked to remove the tiny house by end of day Monday.

As of Monday night, the top bid was $900.
