Putting Sheathing On My Tiny Home And Its Raining

Wednesday I worked on reinforcing the loft a bit and later John helped me finish up the sheathing on the tiny house.

In the morning hours I reinforced the loft a bit by adding some wood in between the wall studs and screwed that into the loft framing. This makes the loft rock solid in that area. I will be strengthening the loft more in the coming days.

I also worked on the wheel well framing a bit. I needed to cut it shorter by 3.5 inches due to the wall frame running straight through the side of the trailer and the wheel well sits inside that now.

I also used liquid nails and screws to hold it all together securely.

When John arrived we put up three sheets of sheathing on the front of the tiny house on wheels before I even grabbed my camera. They went up quickly.

We worked the rest of the day putting up sheathing. Some of the boards took some time due to special cuts and angles that had to be measured. Plus the boards higher up on the walls took some time and care to get up safely. They are heavy and the ground here is uneven so the ladders must be placed carefully.

During our work it rained on us and we were actually very happy because it did not enter the tiny home at all. The inside of my tiny house was dry and safe from the rain. This means that my roof is holding nicely.
