Where does this door lead...

Today, the door was installed. This is the 3rd door purchased for the house. Batman joked as he was helping me put it in that it was 3 inches too tall. Not funny. But also really funny.

More details:

• I call Batman that because his name is Bruce W. I will never call Ben Affleck, Batman. 
• The first door purchased was too thin and basically couldn't handle the responsibility of being a front door. It was pink.
• The second door was waay too small. Like a foot too small. The door guy ignored my measurements when he cut it.
• The third door was too big, by a 1/4'' all the way around. The door guy ignored my measurements when he cut it. 
• I tried a couple different things to make it fit and then took it back to the door guy and had him take a 1/4" off all sides. 
• Batman and I put in the door on about 20 minutes. No shims needed, not foam, like 10 nails.

For those of you who were saying putting in a door is easy, you were right. Hurray!

Electrical box

Electrical is scary and overwhelming but Dad was a big help in my decisions. He looked online and found the Tiny Tack House blog and sent me a link and told me to follow Chris and Malissa's lead. So they have this amazing system and they have a box covering their electrical stuff on the outside of the house. Dad wired the house and then told me to cover the circuit breaker with a box like Chris and Malissa's. It was so overwhelming though, building a box that could withstand the road and was big enough, but not too big so that I wouldn't screw up my turning radius, so I put it off. Finally, I got one of the manliest of men (Darren Day) to help me with the house and he built me an electrical box. It is so beautiful. The design is pretty much a pure rip-off of the Tiny Tack house electrical box, but without the benefit of their wisdom through plans or advice.

Back shingles done and both windows framed! Thanks Darren

Siding, phase two...

So the front and the back siding took a while because we stopped working on it till the summer time. I was so lucky that I had the help of Nicolle, Brendan, Derek, and Jordan to help with the siding. Looks good, I think.

I re-did the lone board you see here.

Everyone worked on this side. 

Derek styled out the rest of the side. 

The circuit box is covered with plastic to keep it from getting wet 

and the board is to hold the plastic down since some local animals

 like to pull the plastic off.

Brendan and Jordan did the front of the house.

Electrical

My dad, who even now I consider to be Superman, has done the electrical on the house for me. It is amazing. I am supposed to be able to understand what he designed and built, but I don't. Maybe if I study?

Thanks!

So many people have helped me working on the tiny house that I wanted to create a thank you page. No symphony to play my off stage, I will add your name to the list as the house progresses.
