Any work on the tiny house is paused for the next few weeks while Keith goes to Montana to work... Boooo. So back I go into my parents' house for the meantime. I just don't want to deal with keeping a fire going for just myself. Etc.
Not looking forward to dropping him off at the bus station tomorrow because we tend to wither when we're apart (which is good for my waistline, but not my heart). And he's going to be gone for his 40th birthday, which really makes me sad. But he says we can celebrate when he gets back. 40 is a big one in my book, but he says he'd rather celebrate it without a number attached. He says I'll understand when I'm almost 40.
We got a screaming deal on some cedar at the mill where my mom works---enough to side the entire tiny house for $260. That's probably Project #1 when Keith gets back. Board-and-batten cedar siding, coming up. Then our house will look less like an art installation and more like an actual dwelling. We decided the barn wood was too labor intensive and dangerous when we found out how cheap the cedar was. Easy decision. And we will have enough left over to do the inside of the shower/bathroom area.
So while Keith's gone I plan to spend my free time working, reading, and working out. Not much posting.

Mid-week update
The love affair with our farming class is back on! We were off for a couple weeks because of the holidays and we skipped a couple of weeks because the presenter was boring and the topic didn't apply to us (pasture management), but this week's guest speaker was an entomologist from the U of I who talked about Intergrated Pest Management. Very. Interesting. Really! (The University of California has a really good site about IPM.) We learned how to identify the beneficial insects and where to find info on biocontrols for the pest insects. Makes us get motivated to start thinking about cover crops and getting plants started for the garden.
Keith sold his car, the Catalina, which he is a little sad about. You know, men, cars. Something about ownership and testosterone. Anyway, he got caught up on some bills and we have a little left over to start another project for the tiny house. I think we're going to finish the bedroom wall and build bookshelves, which I am very excited about. I designed them based on ones I saw online...and I want to try to make some natural paint. Milk paint? I'd eventually like to do the whole interior with some kind of DIY paint, if we find something that works. Keith's open to experimenting in small batches, so bookshelves are a perfect canvas. (Also of interest: DIY chalkboard paint, any color you want.)
My newest inspirational house/life blog find is These Days in French Life. "An American food and travel writer, a reformed shopper, now living a rural, "slow" non-consumerism life in the south of France with her French husband and daughter. Poorer than dirt, but living like kings from the riches of the earth."
Now, I thought we were doing pretty good by joining The Compact a couple of years ago and seriously limiting our purchases, especially of New Things, but they are taking it to a level that is at the same time extremely inspiring and terrifying. "August 2007-August 2008 we did not purchase anything. Only food and that was severely limited to the farmers markets and the organic co-op store. This year, we are doing an all-out No Shopping School Year: September 1st thru June 15th, we will not buy anything, not even food. We will use what abundance we have: what we preserved this summer, our garden, foraging, bartering, trading, living off what mother nature gives us."
WOW. And the tour of their house is AMAZING.
Speaking of inspiring blogs, my sister's boyfriend, Keith (or K2 as my mom calls him, fittingly) is a firefighter and mountain climber who is down in South America to climb Acancogua, the highest peak outside of Asia (22,841 ft.). He's started a blog, called Seven Up, that will track his quest to climb the highest summit on each of the continents. How impressive is that!
I just finished reading Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time, about Greg Mortenson, and I recommended it to K2 via Amanda since it's partly about mountain climbing and she sent a copy with him on his climb. It's not a book I would ever chosen for myself but a co-worker handed it to me and I am glad she did! Greg Mortenson has dedicated his life to promote community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Such an inspiring read. He is really a hero and someone who should be advising our goverment on how to fight the "War on Terror." Obama and Clinton especially should read it, if they haven't already. Dropping bombs is NEVER going to accomplish anything long-term, but access to education is something that can really change lives. Anyway, read the book. It's great.
I redesigned the classifieds at the newspaper (with the editor's blessing) and I'm really excited for the paper to come out tomorrow. We looked at what we could do to transform the appeal of the classifieds, long known to be the most boring part of any paper. Options like Craigslist and the internet in general are really drawing revenue away from the classifieds and the newspaper industry has been dying in general, so we brainstormed and decided since we're printing them in color when we have a short paper (which is lately), we'd do a whole reformat and offer color photos/logos/screens/etc. Each category is grouped together (instead of traditional columns) and a color graphic for illustration... I'll try to post a photo. Probably not all that exciting to anyone who isn't a newspaper or design nerd, but it's nice to have a challenge and feel like you're really improving a product like your hometown newspaper.

Window Wall
(Click on the photo for a larger view.)Another project completed and marked off the list.
Another thing that makes our house seem that much more OURS.
(Disregard the visqeen wall treatment--that's an upcoming project.)
Although originally we planned the window wall for aesthetics only, we've figured out it's also going to work as a heat block since there used to be about about a 20º difference in temperature between the two sides of the bed. Mostly we've been swapping sides so neither one of us dies of dehydration in the night, but these windows direct the heat down around toward the foot of the bed.
We still make the dogs sleep on the floor... at least until the fire dies out and it starts to cool down. They're so abused.
napping during construction of the window wall
I'm bugging Keith to make the next project the sawdust toilet. A toilet is something that is very handy to have closer than 10 yards in the middle of the night.
The newest addition to the farm is a kitty my parents called Tigger, but Keith and I call him Dumpy. He was abandoned at the dumpsters on the highway and because my parents had a moratorium on adopting pets (remember Carl?), I didn't mention it to them when the woman placed the ad in the paper. Thursday night my mom says, "Guess what we're getting!" Yes, another cat. An indoor male cat. He's a cutie and super playful and pretty tolerant of the dogs--he even chased Mia this morning! Of the broken moratorium on animal adoption, mom says, "We didn't need him, but he needed us." Awwww. So that makes 3 dogs and 6 cats. Wow.
Look how fat Carl is! No wonder animals show up here!(At least we hope that's fat and not pregnant!
Someone needs to trap Carl and get her to the vet ASAP!)
Tigger/Dumpy (a little cross-eyed), used to be fat,was starved and abandoned, is about to get fat again.

11 weeks later...
We started building our tiny house in mid-October.
Friday night we slept in it for the first time! Okay, so we technically missed the Jan. 1 move-in date but it was worth it!
We celebrated with a bottle of local-ish wine we bought this summer at the Moscow Co-op, some German chocolate cake, and a game of Scrabble on the bed. No, really, Scrabble.
Holy Cow Merlot is delicious!

We celebrated with a bottle of local-ish wine we bought this summer at the Moscow Co-op, some German chocolate cake, and a game of Scrabble on the bed. No, really, Scrabble.
Holy Cow Merlot is delicious!The flooring looks great, the wood stove works like a champ (there's a bit of a learning curve, sure), and it's just really great to have our own space. Our mattress we brought from Portland (nicknamed The Slab) is providing great rest so far and everything is really cozy. We hung up some makeshift curtains for privacy and the whole interior is a bit rough, but that will change over the winter as we scratch projects off our list.
Wouldn't you like to see the inside? Of course you would!
We put up a few sheets of plywood behind the bed so we're not dealing with the visqueen. It will be painted next spring...the color we're discussing now is a pale, PALE orange. Something to accentuate the natural light.
We had a few pieces of flooring left over so we decided (Keith's idea!) to wrap it around the bed frame. It looks great and makes a more seamless transition for the tiny space.
view from the bed
The wood stove is great, but difficult to master. A small firebox means small, hot fires that need almost-constant attention. Yesterday if was over 100º in the house! Andwe Keith has to stoke the fire a couple of times a night. Still, it does the job and we'll eventually figure out how to regulate the output.
Notice the chickens!
The thermometer on the front of the stove appears to work, but we're not sure how accurate it is. Definitely warm enough to cook our favorite meal (nachos) but until we learn how to even out the heat a bit I don't think we'll be cooking anything too delicate in there.
The dogs are a little confused. Especially since we're still spending some time over at my parents' for meals and bathing, etc. But they're getting used to it. We're trying to break them of sleeping on the bed, but at some point in the night the fire dies down and it gets colder and we let them jump up and get under covers with us. Most of the time they're on their dog beds by the stove or by the window.
There's a lot to see!
Firewood storage is still an issue, but we found this great old milk crate to store some of it.

So we're working on a list and estimating materials of various future projects to finish the inside. The window wall between the stove and the bed is probably the next one--Keith says we need the heat blocked (that's his side of the bed right now).
But it just feels great to finally be inside the house we've been dreaming of for months... some people may say it's too small, but for us it's just right. And it's custom. What more could you want?

Speed updating on my lunch break
It decided to be winter after all. We've been dumped on for the past week or so but it's raining now, which makes everyone's favorite--a foot of slush. Went to the gym this morning but forgot my boots. My very loving husband waited for me and drove me to work so I didn't have to swim there.Keith is starting to install the floor today! This puts us on track for a Jan 1 move-in. !!
Tuesday the forecast is looking good for installing the upper portion of the stovepipe, the important part--the one that prevents asphyxiation. The stove itself is in, but the plates on top and the back don't go on until the rest of the stovepipe is on. So we use it as a glove dryer instead. I'm loving the tin behind it. We're also putting tin on the opposite wall, where the sink and counter will be.
Yesterday we made the bed frame, which really showed us how much room we have left.
backside is open for storage of off-season clothesTalked about window sills, walls, curtains, shelving, reading swing, cabinets and escape hatches--all the fun stuff.
We also hung up the B that my dad made us for Christmas. We love it!!
Yesterday the weather was gorgeous---almost balmy. Keith swept all the snow off the roof (in preparation for installing the stovepipe) and Lazlo and I played catch with some snowballs.

No More Excuses
Boots on the way...no more complaining about losing feeling in my toes while working on the tiny house (or walking from the gym to work in the morning). I guess Pumas aren't made for cold weather climates. These are pretty much like Keith's only with pink trim. Only $50 on overstock.com!Monday, December 22, 2008
Come on knock on our door(s)...
We're adjusting the deadline. It doesn't look like we'll be in by Dec. 25.
I could yell at the contractor, but I have a feeling that wouldn't do any good.
It's no one's fault, it's just too cold to get much done. We can only work out there for an hour or so beforewe I start to get frostbite.
The good news: The doors are hung!
Two weeks ago we had no snow. Today we have probably over 1'.
hardware my grandpa pulled off an old homestead in Montana
The brass hardware my dad gave us looks awesome with the paint color we chose. I had to rub hard on that brass to get it so shiny. We just wanted an even base for the patina to do its thing. Let's see what all this snow/rain/cold does to the color.
The blue tarp front door will soon be a thing of the past. Keith planned on insulating them today (weatherstripping, etc.) and maybe getting the wood stove ready to install. We're on the big countdown now. We also had to build some temporary steps to make getting in and out easier. Next spring we'll make our deck.
The dogs are loving the snow. We only let them out for about 15 minutes at a time because we don't want their feet to get frozen, but I think they'd stay out all day if we let them. Lazlo at least, because he has a health layer of insulation.
fatty
Mia Pia loves to eat snow!

Happy Solstice to me!!
Keith and I don't really celebrate Christmas. We've opted out of extended family name-drawing/gift-giving for several years now and we really only exchange gifts with our immediate family because my mom would cry if we didn't. No, but really, it's a family tradition and we like to participate in the feel-good-ness of it, but it's the consumerism and caroling and baby jesus that we're not into so much...
Why I still feel connected so Portland is another discussion entirely, but the design of this really appeals to me and I like how all of the neighborhoods are spelled out (I've been really into typography lately). Art in the Tiny House will have to be well-chosen and appropriately sized, and I think this one will do just fine!
So, Keith and I don't really exchange gifts, formally, like ever. I mean for birthdays we go out to dinner or do something. And if we see something that we know the other one likes/needs, we just buy it. (Like Keith's winter boots, which should be here tomorrow!) Today out in the garage while we were polishing and installing the hardware on the doors, Keith said, "You didn't get me anything for Christmas, did you?" I gave him a look of disbelief and said, "I think the Tiny House is our gift." He seems satisfied with that. He better be, because I didn't get him anything and I don't plan on it (unless something strikes me at the last minute...).
But I couldn't help it today when I saw this on Blogtown (the Portland Mercury's blog, which I still read) from Ork Posters. I bought one for myself. For the Tiny House. For us.

Change is hard, but inevitable
Everything changes, the zen master reminds me.
The more easily you accept this, the easier your life will be.
Getting used to not being on the internet for *cough*several hours a day*cough* is HARD. But I am managing. I don't have a choice, being sans laptop now for the past few weeks. That piece of crap is useless and can't even be sold for parts. What do I do, throw it away? Smash it, Office Space-style? That might be gratifying! I sneak in most of my browsing, via Google Reader, at work, which is also the only place I can post photos. My calories-for-a-Macbook diet is not producing any tangible results, but that may be explained by another recent change:
My new gym membership. Yes, that's right. I am paying money to exercise. I started Friday morning. I didn't eat breakfast and almost passed out after 10 min. on the elliptical trainer. Amateur! The monthly fee (no contract) includes all the classes they offer, too---so soon I will be giving kickboxing a try. I asked and there's only about 4 people taking the class so my risk of embarrassment is sufficiently low. They have showers so I am thinking of hitching a ride in to town with my mom, on her way to work, and getting a workout in before I have to be at work at 9. Keith laughed, and said, You do realize that means you'll have to get up at, like, 6?
Today I burned some calories helping Keith get firewood. He's working PT for a local arborist and volunteered to dispose of a poplar they cut down last week. Free firewood! So we cut up the tree and hauled it home today. 3 pickup loads. And probably at least one more load of maple tomorrow. It has to cure, or dry out, so it won't be ready to burn until next year, but there's probably about 2 years' worth, total.
Tomorrow (after woodgetting) we'll finish putting the doors together (and they look RAD!! just wait until you see pics) and maybe build the platform/storage under the bed. One of the things we have to do before the flooring can go in. With only 12 days until Christmas, we're under the gun to get moved in!

Installing glass, Egyptian style
Last weekend we made big progress by installing the 2 plate glass windows. We had been waiting on the trim that holds them---waiting for the several layers of paint to dry. Which took FOREVER. Don't paint things when it's cold. Because it takes forever to dry---even in a heated garage.
But the windows themselves posed a problem because of their size and weight. At 4.5' x 7' and several hundred pounds each, we were brainstorming on how to install them a) without breaking them (they flex a little when you pick up on the ends) and b) without cutting someone in half if they are too heavy and we drop one.
Then I had an idea! Let's do it like the Egyptians. Or maybe like the Easter Islanders. The point is, on rollers! So we bought half a dozen broom handles at True Value (now there's a business to be in--high profit margin in broom handles! $4 each!) and laid them out on the floor of the tiny house.
First, we loaded the windows, one at a time, into the back of the Mule to drive them over to the house.
Then we carefully slid them into the floor of the house. And everyone was waiting on me, while I documented everything.
From that point we rolled it around on the broom handles to position it in front of the hole where it needed to go. It was easier than trying to maneuver the window any other way--and no chance of breaking it!
This is the part that was most scary---lifting them into place without breaking them. Because they weren't framed they were a little flexible, but Foreman Gary assured us that as long we lifted them slowly we'd be ok. And he was right!
The new windows (one at the foot of the bed and one in the bathroom) let in a TON of light. I think storage is going to be our main problem--light is definitely not.
Before the big windows went in we installed the 2-way mirror in the bathroom, too.
So now the house looks like this, only imagine the big windows installed:
We're working on getting the door hardware ready (cleaning the brass) and the doors are painted and ready to put together. We also need to get the flooring installed and the wood stove in. And both of those projects are pretty labor-intensive...
At this point, we're shooting for a move-in date of Before Christmas.
But Keith says definitely by his 40th birthday (Jan. 28)!!
Let's hope it's earlier rather than later.
