Tinyhaus (WIP)

Aka: Steven's Tiny Passive-House.
Client: Personal project; evenings and weekends
Specs: 2 inches of exterior polyiso insulation, continuous air and water barrier, standing seam roofing, cedar T\&G + 26ga steel siding, and about 3,876 lessons learned 😅

Below: it's bigger on the inside! tinyhouse_bigger_on_the_inside.jpg

Below: as an expert-level materials hoarder, I've been carrying the piece of aluminum (bright metal around the vent hood) around with me since 2010 😂😭. It was very satisfying to finally cut it up and put it to good use. IMG_20240602_184536792_2-scaled.jpg

My neighbor calls the tongue box (the thing on the front) 'the spare bedroom'. IMG_20240218_181114597-1-scaled.jpg

I apologize for the below window detail, which worked for my purposes but may make a real architect's eyes bleed 😎 Tinyhouse-A8.00_portfolio-01-scaled.jpg

Cedar T&G is finished with boiled linseed oil on the backside, and pine tar on the front:

Thanks to all the kind folks who've helped me out along the way: raising walls, banging nails, carrying heavy stuff, yelling insults and encouragement. In no particular order:

Please send me an angry text if I left your name off the list! 🙏
