All I Want for Christmas is a Tiny House!

 Jacob, Marie, Charlie, and I have been working hard on getting the house move in ready. Marie's goal is that it will be completely done by 12/31/16. We've mostly met that goal, there are just a few things left to install and hook up. Tonight Jacob and I are spending our first night in the tiny house and this is what the space looks like!

Baby, It's cold outside!

 Jacob put up lights for the holidays!
 This blog post will be a bit sparse in the commentary, Jacob and I have been downsizing our belongings in preparation for moving in to the house. My keyboard and mouse got voted off the island so I'm forced to utilize Jacob's high speed fancy gaming keyboard and mouse. I'm sure it's low-tech equipment but it's still too high-tech for me.
Jacob and Marie went to Sky Nursery to get our compost bin for our composting toilet. It's the black barrel on the cement.
 Jacob got the radiant heat for our floor installed and then got our hard wood laid on top of it.
 Jacob and Charlie got the staircase/bookshelf all installed and in place. Jacob got the bathroom bathroom wall up and Marie and I painted the kitchen and bathroom.
 This shows the different layers of the radiant floor heat. The black RPM, which I think looks like a Lego tile, gets glued onto the plywood. After the glue dries then the heat element wire gets wrapped between the nobs on the RPM. Then the TPU cement gets slathered on top of the heat element wire. The cement dries for 24 hours and then the vapor barrier foam is placed between the RPM and the hard wood floor. 
 These are going to be our kitchen drawers. To the left will be our under the sink cupboard and to the right will be our fridge.
 Marie and I painted the bathroom, we used a water-resistant paint which should help prevent mildew. 


Jacob hung the pocket door for our bathroom, Marie and I painted it.

 The curtain rods got installed in out bed loft!
 This is a side view of my bookshelf/staircase.
The inside of the front door got painted.
