Finishing Tiny House Loft Hand Rail & Lag Bolt Reinforcements

Finished the tiny house loft extension and hand rail plus putting in bolts for extra strength and support.

I put on the rest of the hand rail in the upstairs of my off grid tiny house loft. I then put in the reclaimed barn wood post for the corner of the hand rail.

Next I went downstairs to secure the new loft extension a bit better with bolts.

The problem is that my drill bits are too short to go through 6 inches of wood. I went to buy a longer drill bit but they are quite expensive and I cant see buying a single drill bit for one time use.

I ended up getting a package of Bosch spade bits. I have some cheap spade bits but the set I have does not go down as small as this set. I needed the variety anyway.

And I got the idea of using my power driver bit extension to extend the drill bit long enough to go through the wood.

It worked!! I drilled the holes for the carriage bolts and put them in with ease.

I am so happy that I thought of this idea and saved some money.

Both Melanie and I are very pleased with the new tiny house loft.
