More changes

We had some changes to take care of before we could start anything new today. Sherri has decided to keep the kitchen on the west side of the cabin and she also wanted the stairs to the loft a little wider. Along with that we framed in the closet in the laundry room. 
Unlike when we were both working we take our time and do things at a comfortable pace. Sometimes I get in a rush and Sherri has to tell me to slow down...no need to rush. That has made this project easier to deal with than some in the past.
We are planning on heading out to Galveston to visit with my sister and BIL. We enjoy being with them and always have such a good time. We will be down there during the motorcycle rallies which our kids are going to. We all will be traveling together down there and some of the grandgirls will be staying with us. 
Today I am going down to get some extra suspension put on the Dodge to help with the ride. Then it is on to Brookshire's to get my free tank of diesel. This will help us on the trip immensely!
Our storage barn should be delivered tomorrow or today if I can get them to deliver early.
Everything is coming together...

What a mess

I guess you know sometimes you have to make a big mess to make things better. Boy have we made a mess!
All the building materials scattered to the 4 corners and the tools everywhere you walk. I just can't take so much disarray at one time. I know that it will all come together but until it does I just get out of sorts with things.
As bad as all the building things our S T U F F is every where. We decided to go down and buy another barn and have it delivered. We just could not continue to leave all our S T U F F in the RV port any longer. It is all stacked along the sides and when people drive by the front of the property that is all they see in here is S T U F F. 
Now don't get me wrong this is S T U F F we absolutely need you understand. We just don't need it out where you see it all the time. So the new barn will be here Tuesday...Monday if I can get them to deliver it early.
On top of all that our house had to go in for some warranty work. We had to leave it at the service center for 3 days and that means we did not have a way to shower. We have a porta potty but no shower. We had to drive over to our daughters house to shower and that was very inconvenient you know. Thanks Jenny.
So here we are living in our Tiny House while we are trying to finish it. Now that is a no no when you are remodeling. You never try to stay where the work is going on. So we had to shut down the remodeling while we were without our RV. 
Our RV is back in the port and we are going to get back on track this morning. We have to move all our goods back into the RV and out of the Tiny House. This will take most of the morning and then I will have to get busy finishing up some of the projects that need to be done. 
I know it will all come together...

Still here just been busy


Stairway to loft


This will be the bathroom


Nice size loft


New panel box


Front door...notice all the mess. 

Sherri and I have been working on our Tiny House for some time now. We have just about got the bedroom finished and the loft for Kris lacks the paint and the light fixtures. 
I completed the stairway to the loft and it turned out nice. I think anyone can get up to the loft without too much problem. The kids...well they have no problems climbing anything...I was thinking more about the grown-ups.
I will try to supply you all with some photos to show you what we are up to. 
We have had problems with our home on wheels. The black water gate has been very hard to pull here lately and yesterday I could not get the tank to drain at all!! Yes we have a new septic tank and now the tank wont drain...what kind of a deal is this??
We have an appointment to have it fixed Tuesday morning. This will be our second trip in the last two weeks. I hope we can get it done by Wednesday so I can have my house back. 
Better get going this AM...I have a lot to do before we head off to the Punkin Patch. We are taking the kids there for the day. Maybe I should say they are taking us. It should be a good day...
