I’ve been framed!

Oops , I mean I’ve been framing!

Walls behind stairs and base of stairs 

Wall between laundry closet and bathroom 



The wall between the laundry closet and bathroom, closet behind stairs and the base platform for the stairs are done (ish- need to fiddle a bit with the platform). Yesterday I spent most of the day inside hiding from the heat and designing the staircase.

Framåt!

Getting going



 Some projects to start off.

Trying not to look too hard at the whole project, just take off little chunks at a time.

Trying to remember to multiply every time estimate by at least 3.

Having fun! This project is so cool, I’m grateful to myself for taking the risk and giving myself the opportunity to get my hands on such an extensive building experience. Also grateful for friends with experience and skills who are willing to help out. And just basically any friends who want to help out, it’s a nice way to spend time with someone I enjoy being with 😊

Site prep + 2nd trip to Tidaholm

house, dog included

My little house on wheels is being delivered on Tuesday! I need to just let that sink in…

I was in Tidaholm at the Treesign workshop Over the weekend, doing a bit of work and tying up little loose ends. It’s a great feeling to be inside my house and see my design come to life. Even better than I’d imagined, and it’ll just get nicer from now on. I’m very much looking forward to taking over construction.

Prior to leaving for Tidaholm I was doing site prep for where the house will stand. Landscapre cloth pegged down, to be covered with wood chips. Holes dug and being filled with gravel and sand, and a paving stone for under the six trailer jacks. Thanks Marek for your help! And Lusi, thank you for being so cute.
