Tiny House Project: Friday is Delivery Day!



OMG, I am so excited and anxious! My Tiny House will be delivered on Friday between 2 and 3pm! I'm excited that she will be here and I will probably live stream the event on my Tiny House Facebook Page.  We got the confirmation phone call today to lock in the time.

I had originally wanted to build a small alcove bedroom for the kids when they need or want to stay
the night but I've decided against it. I found a beautiful layout that puts the bathroom and kitchen in the middle of the Tiny House both giving way to doorways to enter the bedroom. I'm going to do this one more than likely. My sister is concerned with the number of doorways but I like it.



This is a Tiny House layout from Ideabox. This Tiny House cost $125k!

I get my first paycheck from my new job this week as well and I do have to pay some delivery and set up fees and if I have enough left over I plan on buying the breaker box so we can get that installed in the wall. Everything seems to be moving fast but it will slow down once she gets here because I have to buy things as we go. Before I can do anything I have to install the electrical. I need the wiring, the breaker box, the plugins and switches, all in all, that's going to be around $250 total. I get paid biweekly so I'm hoping to get all of this by the end of the month so we can light her up.


I did have about $4 from a Lowe's gift card I had gotten through a survey and a $13 Wells Fargo Settlement check that posted through so I went ahead and purchased all the electrical receptacles and one small ugly light fixture that I will put in the closet. So as you can see, I purchased 20 of the light switch/Plugin boxes, 2 of the double switch boxes and 5 of the light boxes. I know I won't need 20 and if I don't I'll just return the ones I don't use.




Something else I received in the mail today was a tube of  GE Bathroom/Kitchen Silicone! I got this to try and review and it's super nice to have received this for free. I will be able to utilize this everywhere. lol. So one less thing to purchase! About a month ago Lowe's had sent me an email giving me $5 to purchase anything I wanted and I chose to get a huge tube of Liquid Nails so this will go with that. These things are definitely needed and will be used so getting them for free is amazing.




Tomorrow we will be getting the rest of what the Craigslist gentlemen gave us. I'm excited to see the Kitchen base with sink and faucet and the wooden flooring he has given to me. That will be amazing to have. Luckily the flooring is something we can put down without having the electrical installed so that will be fun to put together.

So that is it for all of my Tiny House updates! Looking forward to sharing with you what I receive tomorrow as well as the installation of the Tiny House on Friday!
