Blessed in the Northwest

A stretch of sunny...

10/15/10

(after work)

new facia design

We started getting a full 3 consecutive days off from our regualar jobs most weeks, to work on our house  together... this week, Day 1 is

10/17/10

sized up and fit friezeboard

by noon...

I prepped up some siding

for DK to fit on the gables

Day 2

10/18/10

new design for staining rack, made from larger one

rain shelter for saw is made from other parts of our old larger rack to stain 20 ft. long siding

we'll complete 3 sides of siding today

we aren't the first to build modern tiny mobile homes, this bus is adapted to live in, and sits near a standard mobile home

people have wanted tiny homes, and mobile homes, for a myriad of reasons and the numbers are  growing of people whose houses are shrinking

DK stains the ends of the siding, any notches that were cut out, and the new facia a distance away, to keep toxic fumes at bay

low vocs but still not totally safe for this  canary until somewhat cured

so I prepare some nourishment from our daily supplies

Ah.. nice...on to the friezeboard installation...

in order to do the last side, we have to install the door

so we go for it

we special ordered it from Olympic Door, they were great

even on the sides...

screw above hinge, shim at hinge

Ta Da!

Day 3
10/19/10...

another dry day

smoke from a nearby yard fire fills the air

In order to have a sanctuary from this, I must endure it for now

I masked up and prepped siding for the front

DK worked on a door frame and plans for the porch roof
