The Start of Our Big, Tiny, Project!

Last week, I was finally able to get the base of our little house to our current residence. This little camper is going to be the start of our tiny house adventure. We're going to be demolishing what's left of the actual camper, cleaning and strengthening the frame, and extending it an additional 5 feet to make the base a total of 8.5 foot by 24.5 foot for the frame.

Now that the frame is here, it's time to start acquiring more materials to start the build. I'd like to use as many recycled pieces as possible, and pallet wood is going to play a big role in the finished product. I do, however, need to get some framing lumber. I've figured out that just the 2 by 6 studs for the walls only will run about $500.00 all said and done. Not including framing for the lofts, roofs, and main floor. If anyone has any building materials that they're looking to get of of their hands, Mia and I would be more than happy to take them off of your hands! Donations to our GoFundMe account would help greatly as well!

Now, it's time to tear things apart!

The slight mishap while in transit

I thought flat tires were going to be an issue during the haul home. We burned some rubber instead!
