Schedule
Here is a very preliminary schedule for my tiny house project. I currently have a lease that goes until the end of May 2012, by then I should have time to build/enclose my tiny house. Here is the breakout by month, roughly at this point
November: – Accomplished!
- Buy trailer move to interior workshop to be worked on for winter
- Start design documents (figure out details, finishes, fixtures, systems etc.)
I ran into some scheduling conflicts. I bought a homemade trailer rather than a brand new ready to go trailer. I have spent the last month getting the trailer ready to build, I am pushing back my schedule a month to make up for the difference. Over the last month I have removed the decking (which took surprisingly long because the bolts were all wonky) and removed the axles and [should have] all the axles rehung including the additional axle.
