Paint to a Science - 2 hours

Professional quality starts with understanding terms like paint drag, techniques like back rolling, and tools like mill gauges. We interviewed professional paint representative Jeff Ehrhardt to explore the science of paint ingredients, application tools and proper techniques. We watched the paint dry, so you don’t have to.

Light Design - 2 hours

Light affects our mood, our motivation, and our ability to do almost any task. This course will explore the role of a professional light designer and the benefits to our clients. The right lighting can express your client’s style, make their home look and feel better, and inspire them to brag about the builder for years to come!

Sealed Crawl Space  - 2 hours    
For our entire lives we have been taught that a vented crawl space saves energy and protects our homes. This is wrong! New studies in 2005 conducted in the southeastern U.S. have proven that sealing the crawl space not only saves heating and cooling costs but increases the air quality in the entire home. This course will start with the science behind the testing and crawl under the codes and processes to better, greener home. cLearn gets under it all with interviews and in the field footage from professional installers.
