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!

Tiny House Project: Flooring, Roof and the kitchen!

Good afternoon everyone!! It is BEAUTIFUL outside today! I did some planting yesterday (I started some seeds and got my one tomato plant in a container) and today I am suffering for it. I have apparently contracted seasonal allergies. I have no idea why, I have never suffered like this before, I would occasionally get a migraine once seasons changed but this is ridiculous!

But yes, yesterday I started my seeds. I planted a ton of veggies. I hit up the .20 seed rack at Walmart and spent about $3 total on seeds and I picked up a $1.50 tomato plant. I'm hoping I get some veggies out of this. I really want to start canning. I have my eye on this canner for $70 at Walmart so I'm hoping I can get that in the next month or 2, and I also want a giant stock pot to do some canning in that as well. It's a bit pricey to start up but just imagine what you can do once you get everything you need. We have wild blackberries all over the place up here and I plan on canning those as soon as they are ripe. Blackberry jam, pie filling, and blackberry juice. :D How amazing would that be?

Yesterday was awesome. A few days ago I posted on Craigslist (you can read my ad here) and asked that if anyone had any items they didn't want or
had for sale a cheap price then to consider contacting me and I was only contacted but one man. One very awesome man who owns his own sawmill and has given me over 2k feet of live edge lumber he made, 400 sq ft of hardwood flooring and a kitchen sink base that includes the countertop, the sink, and a faucet. I'm getting everything tomorrow so I'm so super excited! Not only that but he decided to bring us a load yesterday. So he brought a whole load of this live edge wood and I'm hoping I can square some of it up and put it across the roof from where the sheetrock ends to the other side, that would be such a beautiful ceiling. I was definitely blessed with this amazing person.

I am so excited for the shed to arrive and I just know it's going to be amazing!

I created a page just for my tiny house so I can post photos and things quickly so everyone can see, you can like my page here.

A friend also recommended that I create a wish list for my Tiny House and I have done that, everything from electrical outlets to a set of french doors is on there, I tried to stick the basics keeping my price in mind. If you want to browse my wish list you can do that here!

Did you know you can EAT Dandelions? I had no clue! They have some amazing properties that help with Kidney function and you can also make salves and balms out of them for skin irritations and pain relief. I'm going to try to make a few things as we have a TON of Dandelions already.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day! I'm going to leave you with a beautiful purple flower that grows wild in our yard, it's called Lunaria or the Money Plant. It's such a very pretty shade of purple! We have roses in the yard as well as a hibiscus plant, Hydrangeas and some Forsythia. Those have not bloomed yet, but I'll snap some photos when they do.
