Putting up trim. Got all the trim I had ready, put up today. Now I need to cut some more.

December 27, 2016 at 07:00PM

Caulking this window, because I'm putting it on its side from how it was supposed to be installed. You can see the blue trim, below.

December 26, 2016 at 10:17PM

A moment before I cut my glove with the saw. I was careless, and put my finger on the saw blade and turned it on.

December 24, 2016 at 10:21PM

Putting the color on the trim. Blue blue blue!

December 23, 2016 at 04:59PM

Base layer of paint, using reclaimed paint from the hazmat store. #tinyhouse

Painting trim! #tinyhouse #nofilter

We measured the windows, and then went to MakeICT and cut our cedar trim. This is red aromatic cedar we got from a little sawmill near Branson. We may need some more boards to finish the job.

December 17, 2016 at 12:37PM

Heading into the cold with house plans.

November 19, 2016 at 10:34PM

Today we visited a metal siding manufacturer, and got some metal tubes at the Yard Store (not shown). Then this evening I made some trim for the bottom of the wall, and around the tail light. I'll probably do the other side using a faster method.

November 17, 2016 at 06:02AM

We cut and installed insulation. We finished the west end of the north wall. From the window to the bathroom.

November 15, 2016 at 09:44PM

Slid the door in, nailed it in place, and put on zip tape. Had only a little tape left over.

November 15, 2016 at 09:31PM

With the sill pan done, put on a little strategic caulk, and attached it to the door.

November 14, 2016 at 06:07PM

And now, I'm doing the other side of the sill pan. #tinyhouse

November 12, 2016 at 06:46PM

Made corners for the sill pan under the door. I glued one corner to the sill pan, but I still have one left. It has been really nice to have the door hanging from the "crane" I made--i can test-fit the flashing as I make it.

November 08, 2016 at 07:44PM

This is two pictures of some proposed trim to finish water-proofing the bottom corner of the door. It is nice to have door hanging from a wall-mounted "crane"so I can easily work on it and try different things without having 3 guys to lift it in and out.

November 05, 2016 at 10:11PM

The door leaked, so we took it out and made a sill-pan to keep the water out of the house.

November 03, 2016 at 08:18PM

Started the project of removing the door and fixing the flashing so that water doesn't get in anymore. That door was caulked in so tight! (but the bottom leaked--weakest link)

November 01, 2016 at 04:53PM

Installing a pipe in the wheel well, as a conduit for a water pipe.

October 31, 2016 at 07:39PM

Got two of the can lights installed. The small loft is done, but there is insulation stacked in the big loft, so I'll do those two lights later.

October 28, 2016 at 05:59PM

Our tiny house was taking too long, so we decided to just buy one here in this quaint gated community.

October 25, 2016 at 09:46PM

Created some brackets, and fastened the shower valve to the wall.

October 23, 2016 at 07:40PM

We spoke at the EcoFest about our tiny house. See, on the right side at 4:00! It was good to see friends there, both old and new!

October 22, 2016 at 06:22PM

Insulation around the north window. #tinyhouse

October 22, 2016 at 05:27PM

Tobias made this cool jig for cutting foam insulation. He's so creative! -Beth #heismyhero!

October 22, 2016 at 03:26PM

Action shot! Crazy angles! I put a steel beam (grey) on the front of the loft because it was sagging. #tinyhouse

October 20, 2016 at 05:32PM

Had to take out an extra piece of a stud, to make room for a shower valve.

October 18, 2016 at 07:25PM

Got a load of foam out of storage. i think Saturday will be a Foaming day of Insulation. #tinyhouse

October 18, 2016 at 07:48AM

Ordered the shower valve #tinyhouse

October 15, 2016 at 07:03PM

Temp install of the outside water faucets: cold (supply) and an auxiliary outside hot water faucet.

October 14, 2016 at 11:43PM

Got the supply plumbing crimped onto the fittings.

October 07, 2016 at 08:11AM

i did get the final piece in above this, but this was the final picture before I ran out of phone battery. I should have worn gloves -- my hands were purple and leprous. #nofilter #blurry

October 06, 2016 at 07:22PM

I've got one more pipe to cut, but here are the rest, cut and primed.

October 04, 2016 at 07:50PM

Putting little corners into the PEX plumbing pipe. I didn't end up with no fittings in the walls, but less of them.

October 04, 2016 at 05:36PM

We got so much done while family was here! E & A helped us finish the wiring, and do almost all of the plumbing, as well as put in the metal brace rods for the reading nook.

October 03, 2016 at 01:51PM

Used up all my pipe, and almost got the supply plumbing done.

September 22, 2016 at 10:00PM

Put up the breaker box, and started to run the wires.

September 11, 2016 at 09:05PM

I finished everything obvious yesterday, so today I thought about the next steps, and started putting the curb the roof of the reading nook in preparation for a rubber sheet.

September 10, 2016 at 10:25PM

Drilling holes for wiring!

September 10, 2016 at 03:08PM

We got a little water in the house from that torrential rain. Mostly from the door, that needs re-flashing, but some from somewhere I couldn't figure out. Maybe that's why people put siding on their houses.

September 05, 2016 at 08:07PM

The reading nook is ready for the rain.

September 05, 2016 at 02:38PM

Got the window in.

September 05, 2016 at 01:22PM

We got the walls and ceiling done. Just need the underside of the floor.

September 05, 2016 at 11:25AM

Three of the 5 walls of the reading nook are covered, but I am running low on nails.

September 04, 2016 at 09:24PM

I'm going to be Labor-ing on my tiny house tomorrow, so come on over for an Open House, between 11am and 3pm! There might even be some work for you to do.

September 03, 2016 at 08:50PM

We got the front covered with sheathing, and have some ideas for how to do the nailers for the other sheathing and wall boards.

September 03, 2016 at 07:10PM

My Dad and I built the loft extension.

September 03, 2016 at 02:55PM

Wall built, soon to go up there^^

August 28, 2016 at 10:11PM

Here is the wiring diagram for our tiny house. I'll probably redo it when I'm done, to accurately show wherever I ended up doing. But I think this will tell me enough to drill the holes and run the wires.

August 28, 2016 at 09:54PM

A bit more work today on the loft extension: adding a new stud, and attaching the last joist to it. Connected the end of the house to the existing loft.

August 27, 2016 at 09:30PM

Cut some joists, put them together and attached them to the house. Even without more bracing, I can stand on them.
