A Work In Progress: Update No. 4

-

After a long break over the holidays, we are finally back to give another exciting building update for our Adventure Abode Tiny House.  Although Lauren and I are still down in South Florida spending time with our families before we ship out west, Mustard Seed has continued with their exceptional progress towards our dream home.  Clint at Mustard Seed has been kind enough to fill-in as photographer and provided us with some photos so that we can check on the progress and be able to share that with our blog community.  

The most notable difference in this update is that our interior walls are in!  That means the insulation and electrical work is complete as well.  With the walls in place, the interior is starting to pick up a more refined look, as opposed to the raw skeletal look that it once had.  I also cannot wait to see how the rock wool insulation in the walls performs in the chilly high desert winter nights.

On the exterior, the primer coat has been painted on the front and back of the house.  We cannot wait to see what our final paint colors look like on the house, but this is definitely a clean start.

Lastly, we have been spending a lot of time selecting light fixtures, fans, cabinet hardware, paint colors, shower tile, and seemingly millions of other pieces to the puzzle.  Those have all slowly trickled into the warehouse, awaiting installation. 

We have spent more time picking this stuff out than I would like to admit

What’s Next?
With a lot of the heavy lifting completed on the house, much of the focus is turning towards the details.  Soon, our shower will be tiled, light fixtures will be installed, and intensive cabinetry work will begin.  While the interior is really coming to fruition, the exterior paint and wood stain will be worked on in parallel.  Only a couple of weeks are left on the build, so we could not be more excited to see what the final home looks like.

5 Tips to Prepare Your Tiny Home for Winter

Just like that, we have gone from colorful leaves and cool nights full blast into winter.  Over the past two days, almost a foot of snow has fallen in Bend!  It seems like the last day it snowed this much was the day we moved in, back in March.  Back then, the snow and the cold temps brought to our attention to exactly how much us Floridians did not know about winter living as Tiny Home owners and how unprepared we were.  Looking back at our first couple of weeks in the house is quite comical now, but it was no joke at the time.  This post is intended to be educational in sharing our most valuable winter prep practices and products with you. Water for a Tiny Home in the winter is kind of like a credit card.  If you keep it liquid, you are golden, but as soon as it freezes, it is a royal pain in the butt to resolve.  To be 100% honest, we did not even know heated hoses existed before moving into our Tiny Home.  We were truly starting from square one.  After getting our water connected

Looking Back: 6 Months of Living Tiny

Just like that, six months have absolutely flown by and all of a sudden we couldn't imagine living anywhere else except our Tiny House.  Over this course of time, there have been a comical amount of obstacles, yet somehow Adventure Abode truly became our home.  We have not posted to our blog nearly as frequently as we would like to, so we will use this post to share what it has been like adjusting to the Tiny lifestyle. Our new outdoor setup in our new parking space at The Camp Bend We have shared a bit about our struggles upon first moving to Bend in the middle of winter, having never slept a night in our home prior.  Our seemingly insurmountable list of issues included leaking water and gas pipes, a frozen water heater, water-logged countertops, and plenty of other minor issues which required repairs and attention.  As a result, I became pretty capable of fixing things, acquired a couple more tools, and got the opportunity to learn how our house works inside and out.  Alth
