The last few days have been pretty productive on the tiny house.
My neighbors come over and helped put up the tar paper. I guess I could have struggled alone doing this job but it's way easier with two.

The next day was cutting and laying down the sub floor. I was exhausted by the end of the day as I have been struggling through a nasty summer cold. At this point I was in no mood for cooking so it was off to get some sushi... miso soup really hit the spot.

After returning home I was nicely re-nourished and ready to work again so I put the blue skin around the windows and door.
I managed to get it all done in the dark with the help of the back yard sensor lights.. a few staples needed to be redone the next day. Yes, I'm really determined to get the tiny house done by the winter.

I have to say a million thanks to my neighbor Rick who has been helping me and coaching me all along. If it weren't for him and his expert knowledge I don't know where I would be. Also you tube has been a great resource.

Yesterday I finally got the last of my windows finished... well except for a tiny bit of painting to do. The good news is I feel like the hardest part is over... famous last words, but hopefully not. So today I will be putting up the house wrap the black paper that is. Apparently I can't use the regular house wrap as the way my tiny house is structured with heat that kind of wrap would make my house sweat. Well this house is no regular house.
For now here is a few photo's of the fine job I did glazing the glass in. I was a bit fearful of glazing but I have to say once you get the hang of it it's not so bad.

Many thanks http://www.tinyhouseliving.com/ for featuring Tina's Tiny House on your site.
As the tiny idea gets out there in the world people will catch on.

Sorry for no new post... still working on the windows setting glass and glazing then painting... so on and so on.
Now the rain will be coming for a few days but hopefully when the sun comes out again I will begin framing the windows in.
In the mean time many nails to pull out of 2 by 4's for the frames and need to rummage around for a bit more siding.

These windows have been a pain in the you know what.... but in the end they will be practically custom made.
Thanks to my bro who is a journey man for the city found these fantastic awning hinges for the big windows. The one on the right is cleaned and ready to go... they don't make them like they use to. As it happens they come from my old high school that was torn down and rebuilt a couple of years ago. Funny how things go around!

Here are a few custom orders I did a while back and... bad me just imported them today from my camera.
A new little touch that comes with every doll order is a little heart pin filled with lavender for mom or who ever.
The blue doll was an order from a friend who wanted to present it to her daughter on her graduation. As she said her daughter will always be her baby.... how sweet.

Once again it has been some time since my last entry. It seems days go by and then I think of something interesting to write about and then it leaves me as I get side tracked. I think what will work best is to keep it short but sweet.
So here you are short but sweet... Blackberries picked from my back yard and voila my famous blackberry tart.
