Prepping for Eco Week

Hello!

This coming week is ECO WEEK, sponsored by the Canterbury Sustainability Department. We were asked to participate by hosting an tiny house open house. Check out the website: http://www.sustain.canterbury.ac.nz/ecoweek/!

There will be a few visitors to the tiny house this Tuesday, so we made a big push to get a lot of stuff done (plus cleaning!). Enjoy.

BATHROOM

TRIMMING MISSION: Cover up the fact that our plastic wasn't long enough to reach the floor...

And now to clean up the look of the sink. First we peeled back the plastic and then came up with this brilliance! PTDC0071

Just an old suitcase with an attitude, came free with an old newspaper from 1975!

I know you have seen our letters but we finally finished all the electrical in the house today! All we have to do is test and mount our solar panels.

This is the cleanest we could get the house!

It Moves!

Hello everyone, Today at the tiny house we did a bunch of little things including trim, kitchen lighting, vinyl in the cabinets, and some decorating. We also lowered the trailer off the four blocks its been resting on for over 7 months. We hooked the trailer up to our truck to test the lights and towing capabilities. After filling all four tires on the trailer with air we shifted the tiny house with no worries. Success! Watch the drama unfold!

Below is the first long distance photo that we have been able to take without a fence in the way!

Finally got the kitchen lighting up.

I found these in a store in Wellington, three for $12! It took us a while to decide where to put them.

If you look closely you will see the vinyl that we glued to the shelves of the kitchen cabinets. It makes it look so much better!

I am embarrassed to say that this took me a good 30 min to do!
