It may be little... but it is wired like a biggen!

We wanted to catch everyone up on our electrical! Our home is wired and lights are on!!! WOOHOO!! That has been a huge step for us! We may have more outlets needed but we won't be running extension cords. :) Running the wire was a task and I can't be more thrilled that it is behind us.

 

Once we figured out where the HEART of our home would be... we placed the electrical panel and started the most pain ordeal... running the wire through the walls. We did this before we had the insulation sprayed but I forgot to post it! :)

THE BUILDING HAS ARRIVED!!! 


Today at 11:30am we welcomed a new bundle of joy into this world! He is 16x40 with 2 lofts. Weighing about 11,000-12,000 lbs. His name is "House of Atlas"

Atlas was a Greek mythology Titan who carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.....but if you want to be technical "celestial sphere" on his shoulders. We don't know what that is... so we are going to go with the weight of the "world"on his shoulders :) We feel as if we can relate to him in his battles and stress. We have been faced with so much yet we still carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Life doesn't stop. Bills do not stop. Hungry kids do not stop. ;) So... we present you the "House of Atlas" (storage building...LOL)

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.
