Another exhausting day today with much accomplished and by the end of the day the yard was looking rather messy.

Rick put in an air vent on the roof which was good as I would have never have known to do that.... I really am learning house building 101.

While I finished the siding in the back I put my two boys Misha and Sasha to work priming the siding.

I just need two more boards for the front and tomorrow I will start cutting the battens.

I'm starting to feel a bit of pressure to get the tiny house done as the rainy weather could just be around the corner. Also the crafting season is upon us and I have neglected my etsy store plus I have orders to fill..... I can't wait to be working in my tiny house!

Siding a house must be the most time consuming part of building. Saturday I finished side 2 and then the rain started so that gave me some time to catch up on house work on Sunday and back at it by noon today after getting the family house all ship shape.

The tiny house is progressing nicely with most of side 3 done except for 2 pieces. I ran out of nice boards for the front and only have scraggly ones for the back where they will not be seen.

The good news is the door is in and how sweet it looks!

I feel like I'm ready to drop but it's a good feeling.... it's been a long day.

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.
