Hello All, Our family has a few things to share. Those of you at the December Tiny House Chat know this already, but I thought we should share with everyone else. The first one is that we are expanding. In fact, by next month, we should have a brand new member of the family. A second little boy. Hurray! Second big announcement is that we’ve moved! Not just down the...
Interior Painting :: Tiny House
We did this interior painting in September. We did a white wash look on a few walls and a full white for most walls. Abby and I came up with a great idea to add a unique quality to our living room area. We stenciled a quote on the wall. “Live Simple. Dream Big.” Here is Abby putting up the tape....

Insulation and Pine Board:: Tiny House
I have neglecting posting for too long. We have been so busy… as you can imagine. Though I am constantly thinking about it and taking pictures for it, I just forget to make time to actually share those with you. If you want more frequent updates… you can follow me on Twitter or Tumblr… but those also have non-Tiny-House things mixed in. But the good news is that I have...
The Updated Layout : Tiny House
A few people have pointed out that we haven’t posted our updated Tiny House layout. Whoops. I’ve been meaning to do it… but just have been too busy. Having said that, I’ve got some time today to sit in front of the computer and give y’all a look at our layout. Here is the general floor plan with the loft transparent.The Left side of this picture is the front of...
Metal Roof :: Tiny House
Wow… it has been way too long since I updated. It has been a busy summer. We have made lots of progress. Most importantly is that we have the exterior 97% done. All of the vinyl siding is up and the metal roof is on and looks sweet. Check out the pictures below. P.S. I’ve started a Tiny House Photo album on Google + that people can stay up to...
More Tiny House Coverage

Otherwise, scope out the video below. If you are new here, check out our Tiny House Journey to get see why we are doing what we are doing. If you’d like more...
Moving the :: Tiny House
Here are the pictures from the move we did about a month ago. Chris Kleman graciously helped us get the truck in working order and then helped hook the house up to it. The truck pulled it quite well. It was my first time driving anything with a trailer… and it is one heck of a trailer! Now it is sitting in our Driveway in the City. If you are...
Siding :: Tiny House
Well, we finally got some time to work on the house this weekend… a few hours. So, Abby and I decided to get started on the siding. We installed Vinyl for about two hours. My camera wasn’t acting proper, but I got a few progress shots I was able to compile into a gif: We purchased the vinyl early on in the process. Ideally, we wanted barn boards to be...
Building Trades :: Tiny House
Well, the building trades students are officially done working on the house. They did an excellent job and I’m forever grateful for the help everyone was able to give. It probably would have taken us all summer to do what they did in 6 weeks. A lot of the students mentioned that it feels good to be working on something they know folks will actually live in. Normally, their class...
