During week 9 of building our tiny house on a trailer we finish installing gable end roof flashing, dormer fascia and flashing, priming and painting the front door, and installing the cedar trim, frieze, skirts, and drip edge flashing. We also spent our first night in the house, a very exciting milestone!
Current Report
We’re finishing up on the last of the dormer siding, doing some final maintenance tasks around the house (like landscaping), and selling our surplus supplies and tools in prep for our departure.
We’ve had lots of visitors lately, worried they will miss us before we leave, but we wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye! Although we’re almost ready to hit the road, we do hope to have a farewell party before we go and hope to see many of our local friends there.

Awww…..thanks Nita & David!
The really fun part (for me) will come when we get back, finishing the interior walls, trim and design. I really love how a tiny house simplifies your choices, yet calls for complex design decisions.
We’re hoping to have a potluck-ish farewell party so we’ll let you know when it is, in case you’re in the area and can make it – would love to see you two again!
