I am so giddy these days with excitement as I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

On Saturday the siding began and the door will be on soon enough so the creative juices are flowing of how I'm going to design the interior.

Saturday night I even set up my stereo and a light so I could start working on a furniture project. The view of the tiny house all lit up from the top floor of my house just melted my heart.... so cute.

Unfortunately the rain started the next day so that put a hold on the siding but that's OK as we had a few family functions to attend.

Now that the start of school is upon us there will be more of a routine around here and things should start really moving along.... getting so close.

P.S. thought I should mention that all of the siding has come from the original pallets that we collected last summer... so yes all free!

Today the door frame was installed by my two neighbors Rick and Michael and I worked on the door. There were so many coats of paint on it that I had to break out the heat gun. Needless to say there is a bit of work to be done on the door but it was free so can't complain. Tomorrow I will have it looking like new and then will start on the siding.

Another fine day of work on tina's tiny house!
Today was a great day as it was finally the day to build window boxes and install the windows. Being these are like custom windows there is lots of trial and error, but everything went quite well. It was a fun day.. I'm so happy.
Tomorrow door frame and door....

P.S Rick brought by some persian sweets the other day, a nice reward for our hard work... thanks Rick.

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.
