Tiny House On The Move

Posted on March 11, 2014 by trainertinyhouse • 15 Comments

As of Friday, we have officially parked the tiny house! This past week we have been working to finish what we can so we can transport it. Thanks to Moffit, the friendly stranger that helped us load up the van with our building materials. We would never have gotten the house ready in time to … Continue reading →

Jay has been working on the floors and kitchen. He framed out the counters and cabinets and finished the flooring in the kitchen. Ithaca … Continue reading →

It’s Been a While…

It’s been a long time since our last post. We are, in fact still alive and working on the tiny house. I do have at least two excuses why we haven’t been updating the blog. We got a puppy! She is the best, most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. However, she is a lot of … Continue reading →

Sorry, we haven’t been posting much. We are super busy constructing a house. HA! But seriously, everything has been taking longer than anticipated and of course we had some unexpected issues come up. We are still finishing up the exterior siding. It’s really taking us forever! We are hoping to get to the insulation and … Continue reading →

Exterior Siding

Posted on September 30, 2013 by trainertinyhouse • 2 Comments

We’ve been working on the house (almost) non-stop since last week. Thanks to a couple of gracious helping hands, we made good progress on our exterior siding. Since we are working with reclaimed lumber, it is fickle and prone to breakage. Before we can put any siding on our house we had to clean each … Continue reading →

Three Little Skylights

Skylights have been installed on our little tiny roof! We have two larger skylights in the great room and a smaller one above the bedroom loft for stargazing and the like. We had a little hiccup with the skylights since Lowes sent us the wrong ones and we didn’t figure it out till it got … Continue reading →

Roof Sheathing

Waiting for the roof and windows to be delivered was almost excruciating. I guess I’m not the most patient person… They both finally came in last week. FINALLY. OMG. FINALLY. And everything looks like it’s in order. If everything goes smoothly we should have our house delivered by this weekend. /silentfreakout. We are figuring out … Continue reading →

Metal Sheathing

The windows and roofing will be arriving this week. It’s a little later than we were expecting but in the meantime our metal sheathing is being installed. We decided not to do traditional sheathing but we needed to have the metal sheathing installed over the house-wrap in key areas of the house to prevent racking … Continue reading →
