The photos below document the progress and stages of our tiny home construction during the summer of 2020.


Home Depot came today with several pallets of building materials.

We got around to sorting through all the materials that were delivered.

We framed in the floor, put on the tongue and groove plywood, flipped it over and installed the insulation. We then attached the skids and flipped the whole thing back over (that's the hard part).

Today we framed in the walls. This is most satisfying because it starts to look like a real house.

We installed the siding today. We discovered that we forgot to cut down the wall studs. We decided to just make a house that is going to be 9" taller than planned. We figured there had to be tall people in need of a tiny home too :)

We were thankful that today was a very mild day. It's not fun putting on a roof in very hot weather.
