tiny house porch update

The porch is still in progress but a section is now roofed, sans metal. The piers are in place for the next phase of porch construction and we have bought the metal for the Eastern roof. When the rain is not blowing sideways the roof is a nice feature protecting the front porch chattel.

Tiny house wife power

This week my wife has kicked it into overdrive. her handiwork  can be seen all over this little house and especially with her latest contributions. She not only hung the french doors with me but then, in true female fashion, showed me up by doing all the beautiful finish work on the wood. It is looking fantastic. Buttery smooth and rich in color. The doors really make the tiny house space feel bigger than it is as it opens out to the porch.

Why the 4x4s are protruding: The 4x4s are part of the floor support for the second story of the house. We purposefully designed then to protrude from the house. This is not some kind of adobe stick roof design throwback attempt but rather a structural idea. By leaving the 4x4s extended we will be able to tie our roofing beams into them. We will through bolt the beams and the 4x4s thus creating a fully connected house. This could either make the house a stalwartly solid unit or be a terrible idea the causes the house, particularly the floor, to creek when the wind blow agains the porch roof.
