And now, here's the tiny house trailer, positioned and leveled inside the warehouse where we'll be building.
It's an 8x20 trailer and there is a flange along the sides to help with attaching the house to the trailer, plus a few other modifications to make the trailer work well as a tiny house foundation. We've jacked up the trailer and leveled it. We've purchased tools and  supplies. We've gone over ideas and questions for the design. We've made a jig for the curved rafters. We've been to Menard's (several times), and Home Depot, and 2 different Habitat Re-Stores.
And tomorrow? Tomorrow we start building the floor!
