Putting Extra Supports On The Tiny House Loft

I am putting up 2x6 lumber on the bottom of the tiny house loft framing to add support to the floor joists. I am also cutting out the large board in the way upstairs to open up the room better.

I decided to cut out the large board upstairs to open up the room. This was in the way with the addition to the off grid tiny house loft.

I used the reciprocating saw to cut all the wood away and then trim off the top of the stairway. This gives me a nice flat surface up there now. I will put a piece of trim up there to cover the gap.

It took me a long time and three batteries to get the job done but I am happy that I did.

I used 2x6 lumber to close off the ends of the floor joists on the bottom of the new tiny house loft addition. These act as trim and also sort of as joist hangers to tie them off and give extra support.

The original framing on the catwalk held up for about two years now with no problem and no evidence of sagging. So I decided to do the same with the new addition.

Both Melanie and I are very much pleased with how the tiny house is turning out how.
