Firefly

[TwilaR]

Hi folks!
After some well-meaning but obviously misguided people talked me out of my tiny house build two years ago (and I sold my trailer), I'm back in the game!
My new NT trailer arrived and got assembled last weekend, with a beefy new Dexter axle. Very happy with that.
I wasn't happy with how I did the flooring on the first trailer. I thought it had too much flex in it. I found a YouTube video from DIY Gene utilizing notched-in cross members. 1x6s on top to extend to 10 feet. Much better! Pics tomorrow when I have a decent internet connection to upload.
I'm going to be building a vardo caravan using Timothy Lemke's plans.
And her name is Firefly.

notched 2x4s that allow a flat building surface above the bolts

Home Depot had 3/4" insulation at half price. Think I'll go back tomorrow and snag everything they have left.

Did a bit of a pivot today. Decided it was too much money for the waterproof cover if I built bowtop style as I had originally planned. So I decided to go with straight walls and a curved roof. Flooring done and one wall up before I ran out of daylight.

Nice progress, its looking great! How many will this sleep?

Thanks, ScottM, it's just me and my dog. Is that 1.5 or 2? He takes up most of the bed, so let's go with 2...

I think if I do a bunk bed style he can have the bottom and I can go narrower on the bed. Leaves me more kitchen room.
