The Long Wall -- Interior Siding -- almost done

Here is another day's work -- probably the equivalent of about 2 person-days. Maybe 2.5. We put in five more extension jamb pieces on the windows and proceeded with the knotty pine 5/16" T&G siding (same nail gun, brand new compressor -- old compressor seems to have kicked the bucket after a number of years of repeated use and repeated forgetting-to-bleed-the-tank). Some trouble-shooting of the compressor slowed us down a bit but no fuses were blown. Here are the before and after pictures of the present moment:




The fuse box is now enshrined as is the kitchen counter-top outlet/light switch box (oh the grand potential of two outlets -- a blender or a toaster or a kitchen lava lamp?). The interior siding is like a rising tide of completeness overtaking the house from the floor up!!!

The Master Bedroom is DONE!!!


Behold: the master bedroom is finished! Some trim pieces may be added to shore up the rough corners but, for the time being, all siding is installed. Tiny Home and Garden Magazine can call anytime for a photo-shoot and we'll oblige. The God of Nail Guns continues to look favorably down upon us. 21-degree temperature outside but toasty warm in the tiny house.

The House at Night

Last week we put the trim on the corners of the house at long last. A few odds and ends still remain before one can call it a "complete" exterior but if you tilt your head and squint... it looks very house-like!

More Interior Siding

Today we focused on interior siding! Huzzah! Almost all plastic sheeting is up and, bit by bit, interior siding proceeds.
