THE CONSTRUCTION STARTS

We built the deck to go on our house yesterday. It is a 12 x 8 deck for now. We can always add onto it. This will give us room to do a lot of the prefab cutting and a landing pad while we work on the interior. We are very excited!  Our house should be here on Wednesday if everything goes planned. The delivery date has been moved twice due to truck issues with the delivery company. 

Our deck is made from 2x10's. The actual size of the deck is 12x8. We went ahead and built the frame of the deck in our current garage. So that once the building arrives, we can assemble the deck on site and have a good landing area to work. 

The picture above is the bottom of the deck. We went ahead and built is upside down and used a few corner braces for support. 

 

Tiny House Floor Plan

Tiny House Floor Plans (it may change tomorrow) :D

 

Here is the main floor plan of our tiny house. **** Plans subject to change… when we put up the walls… our layout may have to change. ;) Trying to keep an open mind!
You can not see the doors very well but there is a set of french doors right in the middle of the building. Which will be open once you walk in. The two lofts are on the ends and will cover the Master Bed and Bath and the other will cover the Kitchen and Washroom.

Lofts will be 15x15 each. One will be divided into 3 nooks and the other will be divided into 2 nooks. Both lofts will have a little space for a commons area which will allow sunlight to shine through each window and room to make some built in cabinets or shelves for board games, etc.

We are officially on the map

WE ARE OFFICIALLY ON THE MAP

 

Our mailbox might be a little “squatchy” but it is UP and we can get MAIL!!!! That makes this official right?

 Where all the dreams come true! Tom's Welding Shop!

It is so AWESOME to see our future unfold! We are overwhelmed with positive energy. I love it! Oh and we love Bigfoot!!!

Pre layout planning

The layout has begun!!!

 

The layout has begun!!! We are so excited to see our ideas on paper and the dirt moving!!! We purchased a 16x40 Lofted Barn from Derksen Building. For the next 4 weeks until the building arrives…. we have a lot of work ahead of us. Our new home should be here the week of 08/18/2014. We are doing all of the work ourselves… please excuse my “blueprints” :) These are our dreams and ideas that we have talked about and dreamed about. Here they are on paper and ready to come alive!
The main floor of the barn/cabin will have the following: Living Area, Kitchen, Bathroom/Wash Room, Master bedroom and on-suite bathroom. :) The two lofts upstairs will be completely up to the kids to design and layout.
