This is going to be quite short. I am literally exhausted. My eyes are not opening completely. My fingers feel a bit numb and my lips are chapped like I can’t remember when. But other than that? Today was an amazing day.
The morning started at about 6:10am as I woke up, had my coffee, spent a few minutes with my dad, and then headed to the porch to grab my overalls and get moving.
By 8:45am I had the first stud tied in to both the top plate and the bottom plate. I could tell it was going to be a productive and satisfying day.
Without the step by step (I have chosen to spare y’all) I can safely say that our tiny house is framed. All 4 walls are built, in place, and secure. Window frames and door frame are cutout. It is an entirely different looking rig this evening.
I am giving more of a blow-by-blow throughout the day on our Facebook page if you are interested. Otherwise, please feel free to enjoy a few pictures gathered from today. You can see them on Flickr here.
WAY TO GO!!!
Thank you Macy!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful words. Welcome to the r(E)volution!
I found your blog while looking online for similar stories to ours. We are building a larger place but building with cash. When complete it will be a 570sq ft master bedroom, a 789 sq ft living kitchen and bath. We are building it ourselves too. http://Www.dassSchuppen.wordpress.com
I love it. It is looking great and there is nothing better than picking up on a project when it is still being framed. Thank you Cheri for inviting me over!
