Gypsy Sunshine

 We're one coat in on the yellow paint!

Jacob & Marie installed siding behind the fascia up close it gives a finished look. They evened out the siding in preparation for the corner trim. Jacob, Jeff, Marie and I have been hard at work getting the first layer of yellow on the siding. Marie mixed this color of yellow from some of the paints that we got from our neighbor. Jacob cut the corner molding, Jeff and I primed it so hopefully this week that will get put up.

Jacob sanded the bed loft ceiling plywood and Marie painted the back for moisture mitigation and applied varathane to the front. The last of the insulation was installed on the loft. The electrical wiring was also completed for the loft. This week Jacob and Marie should be able to get the ceiling in the bed loft installed. Jacob has also been working on a small wall nook that I asked him to customize as a bedside table replacement.

A Tiny Shed, for a Tiny House

 Welcome all who have seen this sign!

 We have been getting a lot of questions from passersby, neighbors, and strangers. Notes have been left in the screen door, we've been stopped while we're doing yard work, and a couple people have knocked on our door. I decided to post a sign with the web address for the blog and an e-mail address for anyone with questions. Feel free to e-mail Jacob or I at tinygypsyshack@gmail.com  

 Finally the last of the siding is up! Jacob and Marie worked very well as a team cutting, and nailing in the last of the siding. Next I'm going to spend a weekend painting the primed siding boards yellow and the fascia will be painted the pale blue color of the window trim. We are going to finish the corners where the siding meets with some vintage style corner molding that we found at Limback Lumbar Co. in Ballard. They also have the molding that we are going to special order for our interior window and interior door trim.  

Jacob used plywood scraps and new pressure treated 2 X 4 to build this little shed on the hitch of our trailer. We're going to put our tank-less water heater, propane tanks, and 220 volt electrical breaker box to meet up with the two 110 volt connections for on grid hook up in this trapezoid shed.  Doors to be added later with hinges and locks.
