Big news! We’ve been working hard to complete the house and it’s done. We moved last Sunday. We hired a tow truck, and they were awesome! I was terrified about moving the house. We didn’t know how heavy it was, and we knew it was 13’6” high…there where a lot of what ifs running through my head. We moved about 12 miles, and the tow driver Tony was amazing.

I love all of the zyl vardos houses
Weekend progress for July 19-21 We had another productive weekend with lots of help from Dale our friend and expert plumbing guy. He figured out a way to install a drain in our stock watering trough so that it is now a bathtub. He also installed the bathroom fixtures, installed the kitchen sink, installed the water softener, and the instant water heater. Mike in stalled a rail to hook the ladder for the loft to. I am currently working on building a shoe dresser for storing our shoes!
Dimming light switch with outlet with USB charging slots. This is what happens when you're married to an electrician :) oh and of course all of our lights are led
Here is a before and after. You can see the front door in the first picture looked pretty rough. Now it is beautiful rustolium cranberry red. With some beautiful dark trim. Things are coming together!
Tiny house progress: mike worked on the front of the house. He installed a bracket for our mini-split condensor, and built a box for our propane tanks. Our friend Dale came over who is a professional plumber, and they installed the mini split and the blower. There was some serious teamwork going on today. They also installed the gas lines for the propane. Most importantly we now have air conditioning that works really well.
We're making some good progress in the kitchen. We cut out spots for our sink, cook top, and installed our tin back splash. Mike also trimmed two of our windows with leftover irregular wood from our siding.
I went camping this week with friends. We did an 8 mile hike in Bennett Springs Park in Missouri. I haven't done a lot hiking, but we would like to start hiking regularly . The crazy thing is our friend that took this picture was bitten by a coppermouth when we had about 2 miles left in our hike. He is okay, and fortunately received the lowest amount of venom possible. Don't wear low top shoes in Missouri while hiking folks. His shoe deflected one fang, but the other one hit him. Had he been wearing hiking boots I think he would have avoided the bite. I had stepped right past this snake just a few seconds beforehand unbeknownst to me.
Tiny house countertops are going in!
Hey everyone. I'm sorry we haven't posted for a long time..but it's been really cold. I thought you might appreciate an update despite the poor picture quality. We just installed this lovely flooring.
It's been quite awhile since I've updated. It's quite cold here in Missouri and we've already had quite a bit of snowfall this month. The cold brings out my lazy side that just wants to come home after work and jump under the covers. We have hunkered in and worked pretty hard these last couple of weeks though. We rented a floor sander from Lowes a while back and we sanded our floors. They had warped some from the heavy rainfall that the house took on in its early stages. We also ended up replacing some sections which ended up too thin for our liking after sanding. The last two weeks we have been interior cedar paneling like crazy. Now this would probably be a much faster process if we had started with better materials, but on the ever constantly working to save money front we bought factory rejects. Now we have to do a lot of trimming and sorting to find decent pieces. Despite this fact we think everything is turning out beautifully. We hope to be done installing panelling by the end of the week.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?
Wow a robot is asking me a question. I love robots. If I had a robot it might be my favorite inanimate object. I would have to say right now my favorite inanimate object is my mandolin. It was given to me by my cousin as a complete surprise, and it's a beautiful instrument.
I am not able to post using my normal means....so please forgive the strange orientation of the pictures.
We insulated the house this weekend.
We had previously insulated the loft areas and some of the ceiling with polystyrene foam, which was leftover from insulating the floors and would only fit in 2x6 framing. We filled in any gaps that we found with spray sealer. We probably used 10-12 bottles filling in everything we found including any penetrations left from running the electrical. We also bought landscaping fabric to use to hold the blown insulaiton in, since it breathes and hopefully won't cause moisture problems.
We bought about 18 bags of Green Fiber cellulose insulation for our walls. There were a few things that informed our decision to use Green Fiber.
It is fire resistant, it isn't itchy like fibertglass, it is made from recycled material (newspaper, paper), and it is cost effective. We rented a blower from Lowe's. We actually paid nothing for the rental, and there was no minimum purchase requirement. We just had to make a deposit of $250 which was returned when we returned the machine. It was quite dusty, but fairly painless.
Now our little house is warm, and quiet. Next comes the interior paneling!

I've been researching building cabinetry and I think we'll go with something like what they've done here with their kitchen cabinets.
We just finished siding the front of the house. I have to laugh at my last post..thinking we would get it done in two days. It took 28 courses of siding..and many hours. I have started sanding and staining the boards for the other side...so maybe that will be done in a couple weeks.....I hope.
Siding on the front face of the house is more than halfway done. MIke has work and school for the next few days..so I don't expect we'll have much progress during those days. We also did a 5k walk/run yesterday and I put my right foot out of commission for a few days...soon though..very soon.
Ah! a black widow in the cedar siding stacks.
