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...

CORI CUT ALL OF THESE (FYI, I do more than just take pictures.)

ALL DONE! Now on to the light and fan!

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

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

Next up: Kitchen!

A nice curtain rod in anticipation for an actual curtain!

We needed some more storage!

And EVEN MORE STORAGE!

Why so SERIOUS???

We also finished some trim if you can tell. 

 

We also installed our bench top. And added some hinges and protection.

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!

Thanks for reading!

Paint, Bathroom Progress and Electrical

Hi Readers! Last weekend was one of the first weekends we worked on the tiny house that was cut short by bad weather. But Pat still managed to paint the beige walls (you probably can't tell from the pictures but the walls were scratched and dented). So this weekend we made a huge push to make up for our lost day!

This Saturday we lined our bathroom with plastic we got for free from a friend. We didn't have enough to cover the ceiling as well so once again we used up some scraps! At least our whole house (inside and outside) matches! We also had time to install our sink that had been lying dejected in our shower for ages!

This is the floor I did a while back, finally you can see it ! Previously we had used cardboard to protect the flooring but this weekend we brought the vacuum cleaner along with us. 

We spent the rest of the day cleaning, laying down blue plastic and checking on our bathroom walls.

Sunday was a later start. We got began by hooking up our plug outlets and our lights. Check out the difference it makes!

We finished up the day by finally putting a door on our storage cabinet (we also shortened it!)

  

It def needs some tweaks but it is on its way! We had a great weekend with lovely weather and our house looks and smells brand new!

Thanks for reading, next weekend hopefully we will have a couch installed and some more trim!

Please enjoy our first attempts at using the panaromic feature on Pat's phone ;)

Signing off!
