I bought this house kit because of that contemporary-style rock garden at the foot of the steps. I’ve worked on Japanese houses with tall trees in the courtyards, but never a tree inside the house. There’s no roof to this kit, but I’m imagining a tall ceiling for the entire the left half of the […]

Tiny Tea House
Although there’s no swimming pool and no slippers by a plush bed, this is my favorite little house so far. Yes, I always say that! But look how inviting it is. First Floor Downstairs offers two lounge areas for you and a friend, plus a small washroom. Or you can sit on a rattan chair […]
Whale Tail Tiny House Finished
I did it! My largest, most extravagant, wrongly named (turns out it’s a fish), finished-with-Covid-19 tiny house. It’s a bit lopsided, and I ended up with more mystery parts than usual, but it’s still pretty darn cool. Some of the lopsidedness is due to the design (I think it’s supposed to be slightly off kilter) […]
The Whale Tail Arrives at Its Tiny House
This is such a strange house: I’m announcing that level 2.a is finished. That’s not what it’s called in the directions (who knows what is intended), but here we go so far. See this post for level 1. Living Room Lots of glass, seashells and leather. With tropical wallpaper. Is this what Tuscany is like? […]
Whale Tail Tiny House First Floor
This house is gonna be grand and weird and funky, but it’s hard to visualize that at this early stage. I did finish the kitchen on the first floor, which is full of oddities (here’s a post of photos of the cabinetry). I’ve set this first floor on the platform it will eventually be on […]
Whale Tail Tiny House Underway
Well, I started a new one. We just have so much time on our hands here at Imperial Dam LTVA. We’re reluctant to go into Mexico as planned because of the virus, but there’s nowhere to go with warmer weather, and we’ve already paid for this spot and are safe and comfortable here. Just twiddling […]
Matt’s Towel Tiny House Finished
Yay! This is the kit I received with missing parts, so I substituted items from my leftover stash. Of course, after I finished it, I was able to negotiate with Amazon for them to send me a new kit, but I enjoyed winging it more than expected. I think from now on I might stray […]
Matt’s Towel Tiny House
I think of this tiny house as the one with my friend Matt’s towel draped over the lounge chair by the pool. He mentioned online that the pool area looked comfy, so I figured if he were to imagine himself there, I might as well give him a towel. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to […]
Snags in My Tiny House Obsession
You guys know I began building these tiny houses as something to do in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, something quiet not to wake Tracy, something that focuses and stills my mind and body, and something that’s not eating! Sometimes, this hobby fulfills those needs. Sometimes, I get to thinking about […]
Magic Tiny House Finished!
I don’t need to title this with my exuberant, “Finished!” because I haven’t posted about this house during the production process, so there’s no need to differentiate this post. Still, I am feeling exuberant so the title is deserved. Unlike most of my others that I could create room by room (and post about in […]
