Finished Framing And Insulating Tiny Home Wheel Well

Thursday afternoon I finished framing in the wheel well of my tiny house on wheels.

After putting flashing on the bottom, I turned it over and check it on top of the wheel well area for fit. It fits nicely right in place. So I put glue on the wall studs and screwed the wheel well in place securely.

I cut some rockwool insulation to fit into the cavities and then put a bead of liquid nails on the edges of the wheel well. Then I dropped the top boards in place and screwed them on tightly.

The wheel well is not very solid. It fits very tightly to the frame of my tiny home. It is very rugged and can hold a lot of weight. This one will be under the kitchen sink which will hold my pots, pans and some canned goods.

It was gray out and dark so I was working by the light of a battery powered LED light the whole time.

It feels very good to have one of the wheel wells framed in now. I am one step closer to having my tiny home closed off to the outside.
