2019 Semester in Sustainable Design/Build - Tiny House

November 10, 2019

Hey all!

 

Chris here again, this time under the weekly duty and temporary title of “job captain” along with Hadley. But I suppose I should catch you up on last week, first. 

The Tiny House Fest   was a widely anticipated and successful event, despite the 40mph wind and 35 degree rain. The exhibition featured a handful of tiny houses and cabins that are open for visitors to explore, brought to show by homeowners and companies alike. There were a few stages where talks were being held in regard to tiny houses, sustainability, architecture, designing, and building. I even had the opportunity to speak about design/ build! 

On the jobsite interior walls of our double stud wall plan were beginning to be put up; the logistics behind doing so being far more complicated than originally anticipated. The sheathing was finally completed after a couple weeks of continuous effort. Everybody has been feeling rather drained This is most likely a combination of a sense of accomplishment for all the things we have done and a sense of dread for all that is yet to do. 

 

Signing off for now!

Chris
