It's Here!

"Here she comes, just a walkin' down the street..............!"

"singin' do wa ditty ditty dum ditty do! 

Ok, enough singing! Can you tell I'm excited?

Here she is sliding between our 2 gigantic fir trees! 

and here we are! our first night in our new Tiny Home! 

Now, to fill it up with stuff!

Could it get here, like YESTERDAY!

We drove up to McMinnville yesterday to see the big reveal. Our Park Model was just getting it's finishing touches before they load up for delivery. We can hardly wait!

Here we have the outside. The living room is behind the windows on the end. Kitchen in the middle and bedroom in the back. Pretty,huh?

Looking from the living room to the kitchen. Love the peninsula/eating bar serves as great counter space too. The stove is sitting in our storage locker waiting to be installed when the pm arrives later this week. To the left is the sink with a dishwasher to the left and beautiful stainless steel fridge to the right.

Another view from the living room that shows the stairs up to the loft.

The loft looking back from the top of the stairs.

Looking down at the living room from the loft.

The bedroom closets. 1 for each of us and a space for a 32 inch tv. 

The header storage and endtables in the bedroom. Lots of great storage in here. 

Here's a close up of the kitchen sink area, dishwasher just peeking to the left. Wooden shades are throughout the model. 

Delivery should happen in just a couple of days. Will up date with the finished install!

Happy 31!!!!

We started off our 31st anniversary this morning with a trip around Munsel Lake in the Oasis. We just got our trip in before the rain started. It was a much needed and fun day off from the grind of getting ready for the new Park Model. Just 3 weeks to go!

And Ms. Pepper got to go for a spin too! Just a QDDL from Club Scrap's Bugs collection, but it worked so beautifully!

It's Gone!!!!

The old green trailer went bye bye today. Yeah! Now we prep for the new park model.

Still have some construction to do on the little buildings, but now we can get at them.

This is looking from the back to the front. You can see the boat shelter and the car parked at the front of the property.

And here it is looking from front to back. Some of that extra roof will be coming off and where the current bathroom is (behind that wood in the middle) will be gone soon.  Just about 6 weeks till we're looking at a new park model sitting in this space. Can hardly wait.

It Keeps Getting Smaller and Smaller

The second building got it's hair cut yesterday. This building will be my studio when all this is said and done, but for now it's our living quarters and with the 2 of us and 2 labradors, the space is definitely feeling small.
Here is the framed up wall, we only have to take about a foot off of this building in order to get the park model in.

You can see the entrance to the old trailer from this room. That all has to get torn out and will finally release the trailer from the buildings. Kind of like jettisoning the command module.

Here we have the vapor barrier up and the bed set up. We had room for the little recliner and that's about it.

This is on the other side of the bed. 1 IKEA cart with a hot plate and the tv. You can see the fridge on the right just inside the foyer.

Eventually, the doorway will be walled over and the foyer chopped down a little but still attached to the other building. We're hoping this makes a good utility room with our washer/dryer and freezer.

And here is the most important place. The coffee station, the big freezer, the microwave and all our portable shelving is stuffed in the other building as our makeshift kitchen while all this constructing is going on. 

Next week, the trailer will be gone for good and we'll start on leveling the pad for the park model. It's coming along!

Construction Zone!

Normally, you might come here for a peek at what I've been doing artistically lately. Well, right now we're in the middle of a construction zone. Kind of an out with the old, in with the new. We've got this old travel trailer that has been our kitchen and spare bathroom here. Now that we're moving permanently to Oregon, we need a more reliable dwelling, so the trailer is coming out and a park model is going in. In order to get the park model in, though, some modification to the existing buildings has to happen--walls are moving, retaining walls are going in and this week the new electrical went in. Whoo hoo! we're on our way!

The green and white trailer is what is coming out.

In order to get the new park model in, about 3 and half feet have to come off that little building next to the trailer.

Here is the new wall from the inside

and from the outside.

and here's the dude doing all the work!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

 As you can see, I've gone digi this year. This is what happens when all your crafting items are in a storage locker! Arggggggggggggggh, did I mention I hate moving? See you soon!   Rachelle
