I should have written more often - part 2

Moving right along - we have a lot to catch up with.  On January 12th we scored on a sweet Trailer (before we actually owned any land) via craigslist.
January 14th was the day I got engaged.  January 18th Jeff sanded the trailer and painted the whole thing green (it was rusted and had rotted wood along the bottom).

We had to put aluminum flashing along the bottom to keep rodents out and lay wood across the bottom for the base for insulation and, eventually, the floor.

Here is the beginning photos from the project:

We lagged a lot because we weren't sure if the land was going to go through and it was hard to hang our hopes on some future idea that we had created perhaps out of nothing but fairy dust.  

On January 20th we received good news about geological reports we'd had done.  Two days later, the land and money were through;  we threw the trailer on a hitch, dragged it down to our raw land and we began to draw our plans.


We based them off of the Fencl by Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, pleased with the exterior idea.
