Tiny House Project: Today is the Day! Delivery Day!


Today is DELIVERY DAY!! (Imagine that in Oprah's voice!) She should arrive between 2pm and 3pm (the guy said they may arrive sooner or later, I swear these delivery people do not have a concept of time). I am anxiously waiting therefore I am up very early when I wish I were asleep. I watered the plants and snapped a few photos of the wood flooring I got!

So yesterday we picked up all the items the nice man from Craigslist gave us, and get this...he is a Preacher. He talked about how God speaks to him and guides him to help and do the things that he does. He is pretty amazing and I would love to visit his church.

I was expecting around 400sq ft hardwood flooring but he gave me way more than that. I have small and large pieces of Oak, Cherry Wood, and Pine. All different colors and sizes. What I'm going to do is puzzle them all together and then stain them. This will look amazing because each piece will stain a different color because of the wood types they are. I plan to get started on this right away.

I also have a new sink base and sink, the counter is going to be replaced because of 1. He used a TON of adhesive and 2. I am going to buy an 8ft white countertop from Ikea so it will all look seamless. There is so much wood, more than enough to do what I want with it and get a few nice pieces of furniture made out of it as well. :) (Headboard, End Tables, etc.) I know the flooring looks odd in the photos but trust me, it will be amazing. The pieces that have the visible knots is going to be used as an accent wall either in my living room or my bedroom. I haven't decided yet, but it's beautiful.




My Lowe's Breaker Box will be delivered today and will be immediately taken to Lowe's for an exchange. lol. I found out yesterday that the smaller cheaper breaker box would actually work and I didn't need this giant behemoth of a breaker box. So It will be exchanged for the smaller one as well as a breaker that will fit into my sister's breaker box to give me electricity. So if I play my cards right I can get all the regular house wiring done and would just need to hold off on the 220 wires (Fridge, Stove, Washer/Dryer, Heat/Air).

I plan to live stream Sophie's arrival (Sophie is my Tiny House!) so be sure to watch for that, I'm going to try to do it from my little Tiny House page! Until later.
