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
I keep saying we will probably be living in the house by “insert date here”. Well, it’s all lies! haha. If I say anything of this sort again, please disregard it. 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 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.

Our metal roofing is on it’s way to being installed. I think it is finally looking “house-like” with the roof on. Skylights are going in next! Stay tuned… Continue reading
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
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
