USP Deflation

August 17, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

Hit a setback when handsome groom pointed out that rice doesn’t require preservatives to travel. Grains generally don’t. That deflates my USP. I can probably still use the local rice angle. It’s so rich and interesting! But the why … Or maybe I need a whole new USP. I really liked the weird grain. Also,… Continue reading USP Deflation

Amp it Up!

August 17, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

Have gotten serious again about coursework after the hiatus for building, the layoff, and Tiny House Jamboree. Have signed up for Joshua Boswell’s Simple Path to Success: 12 Weeks to Winning Clients for a Lifetime. It’s kind of intense. Right now it’s Foundations week, so I’ve sent in the questionnaire, obtained the required books and… Continue reading Amp it Up!

It’s up!

May 17, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

Well, okay! Very busy couple of weeks. I photo blogged them in this publicly viewable Facebook album. As it stands, the subfloor, floor, and walls are all up and attached. Most of the roof panels are on the top but not yet adjusted, glued, and screwed. I have to wash all the dust and grit… Continue reading It’s up!

Working Around the Wheel Wells

May 5, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

I’m stumped. I thought the trailer in my kit would be an Iron Eagle tiny house trailer, which comes with flanges on the wheel wells for flashing. This is a pretty big deal in a spot that can attract water and send it under the sheathing to do damage. A flange helps very much the… Continue reading Working Around the Wheel Wells

Wherein it All Gangs Agley

May 4, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

Well, I have the SIPs and most of them are at the build location. Two roof panels are still in the truck; I’ll need help unloading them, so a friend will come help tomorrow. I don’t really want to talk about when I received them and after what problems. But the Papaw’s Cabin at Tennessee… Continue reading Wherein it All Gangs Agley

Milestone

April 21, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

I am mostly done with the buying and storing of materials. There will still be a few things like wire nuts, weensy screws for paneling, wiremold and other sorts of molding, things like that. But the major things are taken care of. That also means Hilda the work truck gets a break. I’ve been burning… Continue reading Milestone

Electrical Layout

April 19, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

This is the third or fourth eighth iteration of the electrical plan, but the first version to be fully digital. I’m using a Progressive Dynamics PD4045 power distribution panel to serve these circuits. This is the go-to panel in the build-it-yourself travel trailer world. I am not thrilled with the location, but hard pressed to think… Continue reading Electrical Layout

Dizzying Progress

April 18, 2016January 6, 2020 SpringLeave a comment

Bit by bit I’m getting more accomplished on that giant list. I’m also remembering more things and adding them to the list. That’s the way of it, right? I’ve added to the list a DC adapter for my digital camera so I can stake it out at the corner of the workspace for time lapse… Continue reading Dizzying Progress
