Well hello there, long time no write.

Not really sure where all the time went, but let’s start in February and make our way through the months, shall we?

February - Breaks and Supply Chain Delays

To begin, in February, our tiny house project took a bit of a breather, allowing us to indulge in some personal pursuits. Erny played some Frisbee, which offered a welcome break from the tiny house grind. Lys bought a new second hand road-bike and promptly caught COVID-19. Writing and reflecting on this now, it really does feel like an eon ago. Construction wise, we finished the diagonal portion of the outside wall and Evan gifted us some privacy vinyl for our windows.

A significant milestone arrived in the form of a huge plywood delivery, weighing over a tonne and necessitating a crane for transportation. It was a bit scary watching this huge and somewhat expensive purchase teeter over the fence and onto the lawn. We may have scuffed the lawn up a little… We spent that afternoon into night maneuvering over 50 sheets of plywood into the garage and the house. We are pretty excited to get started using the plywood because that means…we’ll be working on the inside!

Something less exciting to end February was our first experience of supply delays, with our door hardware being significantly delayed. We had ordered from a local hardware store (the store actually only a few suburbs away) and had requested delivery with the thought that we would save time. Unfortunately, they didn’t actually have the door hardware in stock, and we didn’t know this from the website. We were left hanging for a week… and then two weeks…with little to no correspondence. Lys had to phone and email twice to track the parcel. To be fair, it’s not a huge deal since we didn’t even have a door installed yet…
