(S-8 Ep-2) Tiny House Build Part 9

#TinyHouse #TinyHome #DIY #Trailer #Build #homestead #Maine
This past week was quite hectic. I still have some sort of flu virus and feel like crap. We had a couple of major storms that prevented us from getting over to the boatyard to work on the tiny house and had to deal with quite a bit of storm damage.
With a particularly higher tide than usual, combined with torrential rainfall and hurricane force winds, all of the piers that service the lobstermen were completely demolished and washed away except one. The one that survived was the newest and the one that is part of the boatyard where we are building the tiny house.
I did make some progress though, just not as much as I would have liked. I finished installing support studs and headers for the door and forward window. I also built a set of steps and platform so it is easier to enter and exit the trailer through the doorway because the tiny house floor is a couple of feet off the ground. Once again, I use mostly recycled materials to accomplish this. The planks used for the steps and platform started life as my steam box, and then were used to make up the strongback for building my sailboat hull. Now they have been cut to length and used for this stair/platform unit for the tiny house. It’s all assembled with screws so they can once again be used for some other project down the road when this unit is no longer needed.
In the next video, you may notice some scaffolding in use. I just purchased a couple of sections to aid in the construction of the tiny house and reduce the need to constantly hump up and down ladders.

Thanks Paul! Hope you're feeling better. That's a very interesting way to build steps. Much easier than cutting stringers. That storm was huge. Did so much damage to the coast. Sad. Stay safe & warm. 63 days 'til the first day of Spring!

Greetings, Marty! The step design was based on what I had kicking around without having to buy more material. That's my usual approach as I tend to be frugal. BTW - we had a sister storm just a few days later with more flooding and high winds, but it wasn't quite as bad as the one that wiped out all the wharves.

Talked to fisherman at Milbridge House and he said he hasn’t seen a hurricane Downeast as bad as these two storms.

Greetings, Tom! Eric Beal (local lobsterman, town selectman, boatyard and lobster pound owner) was born and raised here. Lived his entire life in Milbridge and he swears he has never experienced storms like these. Excessive high tides with hurricane force winds. You can call it Global Warming, Climate Change, or anything else you want, but our weather systems are certainly changing and the storms have been becoming more powerful than ever before.
