Building your own #tinyhouse is possible. But it’s not easy. Besides the skills you need to learn, it’s also requires emotional resilience in the face of challenge after challenge. Watch the our tour of this gorgeous #diytinyhouse—link in bio. Built by Tori, @tangled_tiny. 🏡🛠 Tori has an empowering message for newbie DIYers and female tiny house builders: "It's sometimes intimating going to the hardware store and asking for what you want and have build question you. I suggest trying it, even if it's something small to build, or even go to a workshop because it's empowering...Now I see things, and you know, 'I think I can build that. I should try that'. It's a really nice feeling not needing to find people to do things for you." (at Sequim, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKR6HiBBylc/?igshid=13nqkt5uedmn2

Tiny Transitions

If I haven’t made it well aware - I’m pretty terrible about updating our blog. I don’t even want to see how many months it’s been since I wrote something. I really thought this would be so helpful to others who were doing the same thing we were - and yet we have been so consumed by our build that we very rarely had time for anything else. Good news though - WE FINALLY LIVE IN OUR TINY HOUSE! 

We seriously could not be more excited! Here’s a little run down of the few days leading up to the move:

-- Basically June 16th - June 20th - STRAIGHT PANIC MODE COMMENCES. We needed to be out of the house we were living in on the 21st, we were moving the house up to the Colorado Tiny House Festival that same day, I had a meltdown at work that Monday or Tuesday b/c we had not secured a parking spot yet (sidenote: I work for Trailer Made Custom Trailers - my boss Damon has ALL the tiny house connections and, without hesitation, picks up his phone and starts calling anyone and everyone to help us out), we had SO much work left to do on the interior to be able to basically camp in it, and we were not even close to being done packing. Stress level: MAX. 

--Tuesday June 19th & Wednesday June 20th - Ray, myself and our helping hand Kevin are in full blown construction mode. I’ll spare you all the crazy details but there was a lot of alcohol, not enough sleep, and I almost threw a screw gun through a window.

--Thursday June 21st - 5am rolls around (I think we went to bed at 2ish?) and we have to load up our house, Uhaul, and my car to caravan up to the fairgrounds where the event is being held. Move up there - NO PROBLEM! Drop the house off, and head back down to the house we were living (which - by the way, was my grandparents’ house. My grandfather passed back in October and they were putting the house on the market June 22nd). Second round of packing - mostly odds and ends, food, etc. Ray and I had to part ways - he went back up to the fairgrounds to start getting the house set up, I had to run into work for a hot second. Fast forward a few hours - the house is in it’s place for the festival but we have NO POWER! Apparently our house doesn’t like GFCI outlets. So that’s cool - I have 2 not-great coolers full of food and it’s a million degrees out and our fridge isn’t running. Thankfully - our amazing neighbors, Tiny House Twin Travels are kind enough to lend us their generator for the weekend. *CUE TEARS OF JOY* Anyway - rest of the day is spend setting up, meeting people at the fest, blah blah blah.

--June 22nd -24th - COLORADO TINY HOUSE FESTIVAL! This is the second time we’ve shown our home at this event - last year we had just put in the flooring and the interior walls, so it was basically a shell. This year, we were definitely finished enough to convince people we were done. I would also like to point out, that we were the only DIY tiny house people there living in their tiny home (not including skoolies, etc). We got a TON of feedback from people about how it was nice to see how people live in these. All in all, it was a long, hot weekend, but it was an amazing pop-up community and I wish we all could have just stayed put forever <3

--Sunday June 24th - post festival, we had to move the house again to our parking spot (which BTW, we had only secured the day before we moved). Check out the time lapse of our drive here. After finally pulling in around 9pm or so, we got unhitched and our Uhaul GOT STUCK IN THE DIRT. We attempted and failed to get it out ourselves so a tow truck arrives around 11:30 - 10 minutes and almost $200 later it’s finally out. Truck gets returned and we finally settle in with no power, no water and we both have to be at work in the morning. 

--Since then - thankfully we were only power and waterless for less than 24 hours. Our mini split system was running shortly after that. Our dogs, who had been shuffled between family members over a week and a half joined us and were none too happy at first (aka stress poops). We’re mostly unpacked and still trying to tie up some loose ends. We are still without propane - so no hot water unless it’s running mid afternoon on a hot day. Also without internet, but I’m not terribly upset about that (I can’t say the same for Ray). 

All in all - we are loving tiny house life so far! I’m excited to see the last little bit of the house come together. There are a few plans in the works to really fill it out as a home for us. Please also stay tuned - I promise to be better about blogging! <3

#throwback to visiting Jake & Kiva at their beautiful #tinyhouse parking spot on their family’s farm on Vancouver Island. Simply put, it was a blast. These two are super fun, smart people who’ve documented their entire #diytinyhouse build on their YouTube channel, @tinynestproject. 🤓💚 Jake and Kiva are both PC gamers and self-proclaimed nerds. So of course, they created an epic gaming room setup in their #tinyhome, that also serves as office space. Swipe for peek inside. 👉 And check it out in our new YouTube video featuring design ideas from 5 #tinyhouses—link in bio. 💻✏️ Also do you want to learn how to use Sketchup to design your own tiny home?

#ceilings done on the #TaHOW #tinyhouseonwheels ! It was a challenge trying to hoist those 4x8 sheets up around the #stainedbeams 10 feet in the air but it turned out nice! Great neutral #contrast from the walls and floor. Also got the #windowtrim & frames up, really shaping up! #gotinybefree #diytinyhouse #diy #goosenecktinyhouse #tinyhousemovement #tinyhouseconstruction #tinyhousebuild (at Huntsville, Alabama)

Stage 24: Personalizing Walls and Adding Braces

Here we are…still contemplating those damn wainscotting walls…but the great thing about a project like this is that we had so much to do, we could float onto other projects while we contemplated others. Sometimes it is best ot just clear your brain and move onto something else and then….the idea will come to you:)

Moving onto the walls for the Master Bed area….
