tiny house, power

Yesterday, the post was about lights. Today, wiring and power. Thought the tiny house has light it is still not running on its own wires. We have cords draped about and light strange hung over rafters. The wiring is run though the power box is not installed and the receptacles are not hooked up. Wiring was a nice step to complete. I hope to be using the tiny house wires soon and put away all these cords. 

delay at the tiny house

We did not make as much progress yesterday as we had hoped. The neighbor that was coming over to help dig  the water line with his tractor said he could not do it as planned. We ended up spending more time wiring as we figured we might as well run wires to places we might want electricity one day. It is much easier to run wire with the walls open after all. We also made a supply run to Lowes. this always takes forever considering we are not near Lowes. I would rather be far away and make trips now than close and deal with the traffic for always.
The real set back though was the little friend I encountered under the house. As I belly crawled under the house to pull aware from one side of the house to the other I pulled back the vapor barrier to discover a cricket, a spider and a snake. I will let you guess which one I was least comfortable with being inches from my face. I let out a little whimper ( a manly one of course) and slowly backed out of my vulnerable position. My wife asked what I found. I told her it was a real scary spider. She immediately called my bluff and asked how big the snake was. She knows me too well for me to pull that sorta trick. An hour later I was back under the house vapor barrier removed to the "yard" and seriously unnerved by not being able to find the snake. Better a threat I can see than a sneaky one I can not.
Plan to sheet rock, postpones. The sun set with one sheet hung. I will spare you photos again today considering I did not take any. I will try to get better about that.

drywall tiny house

Last night as the moon rose over the pines we finished pulling wire throughout the little house. Unfortunately that means no pictures on todays post as it was too dark to take one. On the up side it means that after work in town today we can put up drywall. Yes, I know we said we were not doing drywall. I know, we said we were going to do something more artistic. Something better. Well, we are doing drywall. The concern was that the space would feel too cabiny and ergo smaller if we did wood walls and concrete walls are just too much of a time commitment right now. So the drywall goes up today and hopefully we will be painting ( by we I mean my wife) by next week.
