We have walls

It took a few days, the heat was tremendous, the truck wasn't available, mistakes were made. But we definitely got the walls of our tiny home project up and the place looks livable (even if small).

I framed the thing in with 2x3 studs, saving about twenty-five percent of the weight and cost. Then decided to add a window in the front room to let more light in. The doors are on top of my truck, but these will have to wait until the roof and siding are nailed down, then plumbing, then electrical, then insulation, then interior walls, then flooring, then kitchen, then we tote the thing to the Farm and spend our first night there.

Tuesday the well guy comes and we get water.

All just as easy as I thought, nothing according to my plan or time table, still with little extra money.

This design included the idea that the upper portion of this would be 28 feet, but all we could get was 23.6 feet.
This only took a bit of air out of the plan, nothing too impossible.
The place feels roomy when standing inside of the frame.
Maybe we'll find a larger trailer frame for the second part.
You know. . .  Simple.
