Thanks to fabulous tiny house volunteers we completed our floor on Saturday! Our materials were delivered on Friday and I took a million pictures of the poor lumber delivery guy dropping the wood on site. I finally explained to him that this was my first hands-on building project and that I was documenting every step. I'm not sure that made me seem less creepy, but I hope so. He finally asked what I was building and just raised a Fayette county eyebrow when I told him a "tiny house like you see on HGtv." We started very early on Saturday morning and worked until almost sunset, but we completed phase 2! I was able to mark through some of the boxes on my dad's flow chart and got a little misty-eyed. Thank you thank you thank you Papa, Joe, Jami, Scott and Marshall!!!!! Wildly exciting photos of lumber! But they represent what will be!! Setting up shop on Saturday morning with Papa and Joe

Our footings and blocks are finally set so building can begin! I honestly will be happy to never see another bag of concrete again! Although proof is in the photos - Joe did much of the real work while I took pictures!! We had a momentary setback when one of our footings was four inches off but we poured more concrete and we were back in business. Thanks to my dad for stepping in with his amazing surveying skills to save the day! It was mid-September and 98 degrees on the day we chose to do this so both Joe and Dad (and Shiloh and Hugo) deserve medals!
The exciting news is that power is coming to the property in the next couple of weeks and this weekend our floor and maybe some of the porch goes up! |
