Our Tiny House Journey [part two]

The Building Process

Building began in May 2018 and our amazing builders (Backcountry Tiny Homes) updated us with daily photos.  We would be on pins and needles each evening waiting for the updates! 

Through our entire build, we were on assignment in Las Vegas. Nearly 1,000 miles away from BTH in Vancouver, WA.  So each update was the absolute highlight of our days. 

Updates started with the delivery of our trailer... 

The very 1st walls going up! 

Lofts being framed

Fully framed! 

Electrical and water lines

All 15 windows installed 

Siding going on! 

The start of our tongue and groove walls
and beetle kill accent walls

Starting to look like a home <3

Dry fitting of our custom stairs and storage

Almost done! 

By the beginning of August, our home was nearly complete and we were about to begin our 1,000 mile journey to pick up our home!  It was like Christmas Eve for all of us (except the pets - they weren't so excited) - we could.not.wait to get to Vancouver and see our home! 

For the most part, our build was smooth sailing.  We had a couple of small bumps during the build, but nothing major and nothing that our builders weren't on top of and ready to make right as soon as possible.  We are so thankful for our wonderful experience with BTH. (& highly recommend them! If you couldn't guess.)
