Quick Update Before Work

Here's a quick run through of what's been going on with the Tiny House over the past few weeks. Steve had to go out of state on business for a few weeks. Steve's son Dakota came into town and helped us quite a bit on the house. Before Steve left he installed the flooring, I do believe it's rustic larch:


Joe and our friend Andy (Thanks Andy!) stained the trim and siding, Dakota hung the trim around the windows:


I was a little worried about the stain we chose for the trim and siding (which you can see the dark board resting on the wheel well) but now that I see it against the door I'm pretty much in love. Dakota installed the door as well... we were so lucky to get such a beautiful door at such a low cost from Habitat for Humanity, but the door jamb was a totally different story...it wasn't cheap, and was a pain for Dakota to install.



Dakota also put up some of the pine tongue and groove wall around the bathroom. We may be moving into it soon, so we needed a bit of privacy in that area. He did a perfect job. :






 It's looking so beautiful, more and more like a house everyday. 
We hired our plumber to install the gas lines and the piping for the two sinks and the shower today. It will probably be done by tomorrow. We should have the interior done soon as Steve will be returning next week. I have a bunch of video, stay tuned I should be posting it soon.

Good Montana Morning


I was fortunate enough to partner with Betsy Cox as the photographer for her cookbook, Good Montana Morning. Betsy and her husband Woody own the beautiful bed and breakfast, Good Medicine Lodge in Whitefish, MT. It was definitely one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on.
If you have a hankerin' for some truly delicious breakfast recipes follow the link:

A Tiny House For Sale


A friend told us about this tiny house being sold near our town so of course we had to go and see it. It's beautiful but a little too small for the two of us. If you would like info on it call the numbers in the last photo.
