moving on to the interior

Day 96 (rain): Cleaned grout lines,

refit shower base,


started drilling holes for plumbing.

 

Day 95 (rain): Brushed on two coats of polyurethane in the loft,


thin-set bathroom tile.

Day 94: Kevin, Robert, and Jess came to help with our tiny house.


They finished re-caulking the cedar siding, painted the exposed 2x4 in the eaves,


cut the wheel well trim,


and nailed down the flashing underneath the house. We are now done with the exterior!


They also cut the hole in the subfloor for the shower drain and corrected some strange squeaking.


Matt and I tried wood filler in the loft, sanded it using medium and fine grit paper, vacuumed, brushed on a coat of sanding sealer, and sanded again.

I thin-set and screwed down the backerboard in the bathroom.
Finally, we moved everything back in the house.


Day 93: Jared visits on his way out to Murphy, NC.

 Matt and I moved everything out of the tiny house, sanded the loft and shelves with a coarse grit sandpaper, and sanded the loft joists. 

Carl helped nail down and caulk the bevel siding on the front and rear walls. I then borrowed Carl's truck to pick up pipes and plywood.

Day 92: Added nailer joist, installed leftover metal roofing as ceiling in the bathroom, 

cut styrofoam for shower base.


Thanks for loaning us your tools, Terry!

Day 91: Cut, leveled, and screwed in interior walls, cut backer board for bathroom.

Day 90: Cut and nailed last piece in loft, picked up plywood and 2x4s for interior wall.

Day 89 (no generator): Nailed tongue-and-groove in loft.

Day 88 (no generator): Mark nailed down the cedar siding on the left and right walls.


He also helped me clean and cut the salvaged tongue-and-groove heart-of-pine for the loft. Coincidentally, Matt left for a work event at Camp Takoa, where the wood came from.

Day 87: Finished siding dormer side walls, started nailing down bevel siding.
