April showers are upon us!

April is halfway gone! How can it be? This means school for the kids will be over in just a handful of weeks! I'm not ready!!! We have one that will be graduating from High School and off to college. The last few months have been bitter sweet thinking about this new adventure for her. However, it is exciting and will be a new exciting adventure for her.

We have completed some more trim work and shelves behind our master shower/tub. It has been a task! Once we moved into our tiny house and the weather soon changed... our daily lives got busy with other tasks.. the barn, the yard, the garden, the kids, our new puppy that isn't a puppy anymore, and more that I cannot even think of! Completely a certain room started to feel impossible because we were already moved in and living in the room. It was hard. But..... we did it!!!

 Master bathtub/shower we placed it in the corner so that we could use the hidden space behind it for storage and shelves.












I found an old wash tub that would be perfect size for our bathroom sink. Bought the drain assembly and drilled the hole. Works perfect and SAVED us money!!

               

 We also need some storage by our sink for simple things like deo, makeup, lotion, etc....

We cut the top off of this old tool box and cleaned it up a bit. The drawers are small but perfect for holding our stuff.... we do live in a tiny house so I can't have a ton of makeup. :)

 After our sink and counter is finished! Looks amazing and is perfect for us. We also used an old oil can to hide the "ugly" plumbing under the sink!




TJ built shelves behind our corner shower/tub! The shelves are perfect for storing extra shampoo, toilet paper, travel bag, and linen. Also the bottom shelf comes out completely to store away items that I do not need on a regular basis.

I hope you all have enjoyed! It has been a journey within itself but I love the ride. The best ideas do not come over night. Also, when you are hunting and re-purposing items.... it takes awhile to find the perfect piece! So remember... take your time and don't rush the beauty!!!!

Over due update!!!

A lot has happened  in the last two weeks!

Our home was delivered on September 5th and it was a great day!!!

 It was weight lifted off of our shoulders to see our home being hauled down the highway. Right then... we knew we had made the best decision for us. Our building is the maximum size that can be hauled and moved. Which I don't remember the height limit but the 16x40 lofted barn/cabins are just an inch or two over the limit. Not sure how they get away with it but they hauled it for us. We were given several options for color and windows, doors, etc. We chose the metal roof over shingles and picked the color: Burnished Slate. The exterior paint is Toupe and the trim is Tan.

Rick Williams delivering!

  We also went went with the 11 Lite 36" Fiberglass French Doors and chose the 3x3 windows.

 Set up and delivery went extremely fast and easy... thanks to Rick Williams. It was really neat to watch them unload our building. I was nervous but also excited! This is our HOME!!!















That very next day we attached the deck and stairs.

Deck attached!

Stairs!

As soon as we had the deck attached and able to work off of it... we started framing all the walls. There were just a few changes in the floor plan but nothing major.

 The last two weeks have been nonstop busy! Our goal is to have all wiring, plumbing and insulation completed by next weekend. :) There is no grass growing under our feet and don't see us stopping any time soon!

Here are a few pictures of the wiring in progress. Please remember... we don't know what we are doing. We are not experts... but YouTube has made us pretty close to being experts. :)
