Got a little more done on the house today. We got the second floor done and started framing the roof. I'm sure we have a few things a little off, but it seems to be holding together so far. I changed my mind about having an open ceiling up to the rafters in the living room. I saw a walkthrough on youtube in a very similar house and they had the full loft. This gives way more room on the second floor. I decided that the open ceiling wasn't worth losing all that space.
Here is a link to the walkthrough of the other house.

This tiny house is based on the Penobscot Cabin Plans from Simple Solar Homesteading. Here is a link to the website.

I had to try this after seeing Rhett and Link do it and it was really good. I may never grille another steak.

In this video, we continue working on the 98 GMC. We get it all set up on jack stands and get to work taking everything apart.

I built a chair! that's it.
well maybe not. I have a few people in my family that are older or have other problems that could keep them from climbing up to the second floor. also I have a bad knee which I expect will one day make it more difficult to go up and down the stairs easily. I wanted an elevator to help with this problem but I didn't want it to take up room in the tiny house that could be used for something else. I decided since we also need a chair to sit on I would combine the two.
I am not recommending that anyone else ride something like this without some kind of fall arrest safety equipment. I have one on order as a back up in case something happens.
