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 to…

Build Days 32, 33, 34 (6/21,6/23,6/24)
We kept chugging along at the end of June to get most of the siding done. Since we had already completed the longer walls, it was time to tackle the siding around the front door. The straight cuts were super easy, but then we had to cut around that lovely trim I picked out. After…

Build Days 30 and 31 (6/16/12 – 6/17/12)
Apologies for the sporadic updates! I was working on my paper, had to deal with moving, went to Vegas, and we were without of power for about 10 days! The good news is that I am done with my degree (that’s right, DONE…I cannot express my excitement enough here). Now that life is back to…

Build Days 28 and 29 (6/9/12 – 6/10/12)
Pretty short update that will be mostly photos…I’ve been behind on these because the draft of my research paper is due this weekend and frankly that’s more important to me right now! 😉 On 6/9 and 6/10 Dad and I trimmed out the storage area on the back and put up the fascia boards around…

Build Days 25, 26, 27 (6/6/12-6/8/12)
I’m combining these 3 days since they all deal with trim and would have been too short to separate and still be interesting. 6/6: We put all the corner trim on (well, almost all of it…there are some corners on the dormers that still need it, but we have to wait for the roof to…

Build Day 24 (6/3/12)
A short workday but we managed to install the front door. It’s steel with a venting window to help cool down the house since I’m not putting in A/C. The original plans called for two windows on either side of the door, but I really wanted to use the space on the inside for storage…

Build Day 23 (6/02/12)
Been a few days since we worked on the house – I went up to the office for a bit again. Yesterday the front door came in and we picked up the shower as well. I can’t wait to see how the door looks on the house! It’ll also be nice to keep out the…

Build Days 21-22 (5/27/12 – 5/28/12)
The 27th was window day! We installed the remaining windows (one was already in from the previous day) and took the rest of the afternoon off. Honestly I was apprehensive about putting in windows myself based on some comments I’d seen on other blogs, but its’s not hard at all. It helped that these are…

Water Heater Options
I have a few more building days to post but I thought I’d take a break and write about the current water heater situation that had me utterly stressed out. I am still set on making this wee house off-grid ready, so figuring out how to get an acceptable hot water source going has been…
