All systems are go!  

The house arrived last Thursday!!!

A few things needed to be resolved but now all the systems are working and the pergola is in process.  Also, I still need to level it.  I am beyond ready to get it to the move in point!!!

I had the chance to visit the plants I started a few months ago and they are coming along nicely.  We will see if they really get to 10ft but they were only 2" a few months ago.

 Just a few details left until it travels!  Snow delay now. 

 

 

A week away???

It's getting very close to completion!  I will not go over the details of the last few months.  Just pictures.

 The toilet goes here.....

Bathroom vanity goes here

6ft. drawers under the kitchen...

Duck-walk-in closet

Countertops...

A few days later..........

Bathroom Area

Shower to be...

The laundry room is one of the spaces that actually is gosh darn tiny!

 IKEA cabinets weigh less than most 

I am VERY happy with the countertops!  Brian Pollick did them and he does all kinds of custom cabinetry, countertops, etc....  We will see more of his work in here over the next few months!!! He is conveniently located between my Winston Salem and Charlotte friends and willing to travel.  If you need anything done his email is BrianPollick@yahoo.com

Some tiny house exterior progress.......

The cedar has been clear coated and the trim is stained.

Interior bathroom walls are framed....

Interior choices are made -below are the things I am going with.  It is super hard because I would not normally use these products but weight was an issue so I did the best I could within the restraints and I am very happy with what I found.

Flooring - laminate

Formica countertop...

Grimslov cabinets

 Yard stuff:

Turkeys!

Lots of fall planting going on.  The results of which are not all immediately noticeable.  We will see how next Spring goes.

An idea Jody gave me that it so good it is scary:

Hopefully there will be big things happening soon on the inside.  Maybe a month to completion? 

I am getting closer!!!

The cedar ceiling is complete...

The cedar on the  exterior is on.  I spent a lot of time looking for alternatives on the exterior but in the end decided to go with the cedar.  The other possibility I really considered was faux panels.  They do have a lot of upside and some of them look really good, with little maintenance but the price compared to wood makes it a hard choice.

In the end I went with the cedar and the only downside is that it will require some maintenance every few years.

The Princess's cat door is cut....

Time to start on the inside.  Tiny house appliances take a lot of thought.  I don't want them to feel "small" but I do want them to fit nicely and not take up 1/2 my available space.  Blomberg makes appliances that are used in a lot of NY apartments which are often smaller than my house so I went with them for the fridge and dishwasher.  I hope I found a good compromise between size, space and function.  I really wanted a decent size freezer and ice maker, that narrowed the options down considerably.  I will end up getting a large toaster oven and maybe a convection microwave to take the place of an oven.  I just don't use the oven that much.  I think the larger toaster oven will be more than adequate for my needs.  Other than that it should have the same things as any large kitchen would.

 

The patio will be started this Monday so I went ahead and got the fireplace.  I can sit out there before the house arrives and bond with the space.  =)

I have water, power and sewer now.  Water means I can start planting next weekend! 
A few things from Etsy I will start growing this fall (but the elephant ears need to spend the first winter inside). 

Things are starting to seem real now.  Things to decide on soon include flooring, wall color, cabinets, sinks and faucets.
