New Design??!

Woah! Changing horses mid-stream... good thing this stream ain't flowin' that fast. Har.
Upon further consideration, I'm now considering... a different roof! Here's my relatively unchanged floorplan:

And a updated profile drawing, with shed roof:

This roof design is heavily inspired by Brett Sutherland from New Zealand's little house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VckbqU4kK2I.
The idea to change is based upon the thinking that my previous roof design (gambrel roof, with low pitch gable roof over loft) is likely heavier, and more complicated to build. Simpler and lighter is just too tempting to pass up. Plus I quite like the modern look this roof gives. Cool house Brett!
Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks!
And yes, that's a hammock hanging from the back of the house :-)

Insulation station

floor foam

Hello! Long time no post. I suspect that might happen periodically...
I'm insulating the floor now, which is pretty exciting. Mostly in that it's not screwing metal onto other metal. I've been doing a lot of that up till now :-)

Relative to that, insulation is a piece of cake! (More on the cake part later...)

I have to fill a 5" cavity, which is an odd dimention. So, mix n' match. Bottom layer, rigid foam. On top of that, Roxul. Both seem to do okay with moisture, which is why I chose them for the floor. Couldn't get the straight answer on if Roxul contains formaldehyde... I'm keeping it confined to the floor, where it will be fairly well sealed in.

caulking

 In some spots there's a gap between the edge of the flashing and the trailer frame, so I made patches and caulked them together:

 Here's the poofy Roxul insulation:

Insucake!

It's so easy to cut this stuff, and it makes me imagine that I'm cutting a big sponge cake.

 And thus, I creep, tiptoe, inch my way towards being ready for framing...
