Today was a great day with lots of business going on meeting customers wanting dolls and so forth. Driving my kids to where they need to go or pick them up and finally wiring the tiny house.

I must say electrical is a lot easier then I thought. The hard part was drilling the holes and yes Rick was here to help me as some of the holes were a challenge to get through with that big drill bit. Also closed up the air vents with screen so no buggies can make a home in the insulation.

The evening has been spent on the phone with a customer, guiding her along with making a doll, drawing patterns, crocheting a purse and making more dolls.

I just want to go to bed.... but..... my daughter is working on set and pick up is sometime around midnight.

Oh well I'll just keep crocheting!

P.S. One of my snowboards sold today. Time to make more.

I just realized tomorrow is the first day of fall and how fitting that I have finally finished the siding. Only the soffits are left to do and prime the rest of the siding but I'm rather anxious to getting moving inside so that can wait.

I have been looking on you tube for tutorials on wiring and have found quite a few helpful ones, but I also have my neighbor to show me the way too. Wish me luck!

The weather here has been quite inconsistent lately and is a little frustrating when building a house, but I seemed to be ready when there is a break in the sky.

Yesterday I finished another side of the house with the battens and hopefully in the next few days I will be all done and then move on to the soffits.

Battens take a lot of nails and hammering and boy did I hammer a nail... my thumb nail! I guess I'm pretty lucky thats the first time it's happened and hopefully I won't lose it.

P.S. Thought I would add this beautiful picture of my daughter on her fall trip with her Waldorf High School.

It has been 4 days straight working on the tiny house and it was another busy one today ripping battens. A bit of multi tasking too with laundry day, sewing and prepping my daughters room for her return home from a high school wilderness trip. I think she's going to enjoy a nice clean bed tonight!

All the battens are ready to go and two more windows need to be framed, but sadly the rain has come.... I could just keep going and going. Must get it ready before winter!

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!
