The tiny house is now ready for roofing and siding. Today we installed the loft windows and finished the Tyvek house wrap. Maya prefers to work barefooted while on the roof insisting that this maximizes traction. I prefer to wear shoes while standing on the ground watching Maya scampering about the roof.

Tired Tires
Jeanine has had to deal with two flat tires in as many days. The first was caused by sidewall damage (probably from grazing a curb while parking) to one of the front tires. Given their state of wear, we opted to replace both to the tune of ~$700 (my first car cost less than this). The second was due to a puncture by a piece of metal to the left rear tire. When it rains, it pours. Speaking of rain. It poured like cats and dogs all afternoon into the evening preventing any substantial progress on the tiny house.
Window Dressing
We are using all fiberglass Integrity windows from Marvin. They are fitted with double-paned, argon-filled, tempered glass with a U-factor of 0.29 and a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.29. The first floor has one large picture window and two double casement windows in the living room. The kitchen has a triple casement window and the bathroom has a single awning-style window. We installed all of these today leaving just the four awning-style windows in the loft to finish.
