We had another trip to prepare for, so in went the stairs/ladder and we finished up the exterior paint (aside from the door and touch-ups). After getting back from the northern VA adventures, it was time to finish the propane lines! Finally we could test the water heater, oven/stove, and the Newport P9000. As muchContinue reading “Early October Progress”

News!
Dad and I had a blast taking the house up to Manassas and Charles Town! I got to share it with my friends, coworkers, and random tiny house enjoyers. On our way up, we stopped at a gas station and ended up giving an impromtu tour! As for the media coverage, let me say thatContinue reading “News!”
Tiny House Tour
Dad and I took the house up to Manassas, VA last week. What a trip! We were interviewed by several reporters and had a blast letting everyone see it. With this media coverage came some interesting questions from commenters that I’d like to address. This might step on some toes, but here goes: My schoolContinue reading “Tiny House Tour”
So much to catch up on!
Well, I suppose this means the end of “build days” and the beginning of a very belated post of all the progress over the last month. It’s, well…AWESOME. Ready. Set. Pictures:
Quick video update
As usual, I’m a bit pressed for time. Here’s a short video of the progress as of last night! Today I’ll be staining the walls, painting some doors and furniture, and possibly other random items. Enjoy!
Build Days 38 – 46 (8/8/12 – 8/16/12)
So much work to catch up on…I’m thinking just a picture post today!
Build Day 37 (8/2/12)
The good news is that I’m finally caulking the siding and trim and whatnot. The bad news is that it’s a very tedious task! After 2 of us working on it for about 3 hours, I think we’re 1/2 done with it. We went all around the window and door trim and in EVERY seamContinue reading “Build Day 37 (8/2/12)”
News Day (7/30/12)
My university spread the word and managed to get John Carlin out to film the wee house. For those curious, here’s his blog: http://johncarlinsvirginia.blogspot.com/ The segment will air sometime in late(ish) October and I think there will be something put on the blog. We staged the house so it’s easier to see where things will go.
Build Day 36 (7/29/12)
Last day of siding!!!!!!! Also one of the trickiest days of siding. All we had left to do was put some on the small, side triangles on the dormers. Tough angles though! Thankfully I wasn’t the one doing the mathematical calculations, so it went pretty well. We also pondered exterior paint colors (finally mom getsContinue reading “Build Day 36 (7/29/12)”
Build Day 35 (7/28/12)
As I’ve stated previously, life got crazy! I was able to order appliances and do some theoretical work on the wee house, but no construction to speak of. Back in the swing of things now though! While I was in Las Vegas for a conference, the roof crew was working. Although I had wanted toContinue reading “Build Day 35 (7/28/12)”
