Tiny House Project: Pier & Beam, Walls & Roof

A big update on the tiny house.

So things happened fast around here – and it’s been a long time coming.  I received a call that the onsite build was scheduled to begin in the next few days.  It went quickly from holes in the ground one day, to a platform the next.  I honestly didn’t expect things to move so quickly.

The next day we had walls up and the roof on – and I had a build that was pretty much dried in.

Before the build out, I ripped out the deck that was in the back yard.  Mainly to make way for the plumbing and electrical lines that need to be dug and run to the house.  Although I wanted to have natural gas lines run to the house as well, I decided to go with a larger propane tank that I’ll use to run propane into the house for the stove.  I’ll use that same tank to run lines under the house out front for the gas fireplace that I will eventually put in after I start the deck.

Next up, I need to rehang the front door as it’s not as secure as I would like.  After I get the door re-hung, I’ll be ready to put up the siding and officially have the house dried in and ready for interior work.

Here are some photos from the most recent update.
