Tiny House is looking like a HOUSE

This has been such a roller coaster!

Kyle was working on getting all the ceiling panels installed.
CHECK.
Got that all done.
Getting ready to run the electrical wiring 
through all the little "race ways" in the walls.
But then it started RAINING.

Outside.
And INSIDE!

The windows were leaking like CRAZY!

Realized they didn't do the final step
during installation.
Caulking the inside.

8 towels,
a couple of rolls of paper towels,
and a couple of freak out moments later...
it stopped raining and he got it all dried up.

Yesterday morning, after giving it overnight
to make sure it was nice and dry,
he carefully caulked (and in some cases re-caulked)
all the windows. (All 6 of them!)

And then it was time to start on the wiring.
FINALLY!
It was a little less easy than he thought,
so I went out to give him a hand.
With 4 hands instead of 2, it went pretty quickly!

And then the afternoon rain showers began.
And it stayed DRY!
(Well, all but one tiny spot, easily fixed...)


The builder hard at work...


He's learning so much about home construction!
Mostly that he's not crazy about it.
LOL.


Taking a short, well earned break.
Incidentally, the hot water heater came in VERY handy!
Makes a great stool / seat!


Can't get over how much I LOVE this vanity!
And look! The floor is "clean"!
There has been a thick layer of 
styrofoam "snow" everywhere for a couple of days.
Beau likes to eat it.
Dumb dog.
We finally got it all swept up
and into a garbage can.


Next he framed in the bathroom wall
and installed the breaker box.


Then to get a feel for what it's going to
look like, he used his counter tops to
create a couple of faux walls and
used an empty insulation box and a cinder block
to mimic where his fridge will stick out to.
It will face towards me instead of
towards the kitchen cabinet.
Easier to get in stuff in / out.


This will be his vanity with a light and mirror
above it, imagine the metal stool is his toilet
(known as a commode down here in the south...).


'Scuse me! Can I get some privacy here?
(It's going to have a sliding barn door.)


Looking out from the bathroom.
Still looks like a construction zone,
but it's coming!
