What we have been up to this summer 2020
FEBRUARY 2020- First off I wanted to inform everyone that our good friend and housemate returned to us from his three year adventures in the UK, Sean made it home! We are so delighted to have him back with us and even more excited that he has started his very own Tiny House creation, designed and building it himself… go Sean! Please feel free to follow his adventures on his Instagram account @seandavidburke
To kick off Sean’s Tiny House build and get him some building refreshers, we had decided to build a small 8 x 12 Workshop in the backyard. This would help us get our hands used to the tools again and gain a workspace for Sean to store his building materials in, while he is building.

Leyla helping to get the subfloor nice and level.
Started framing the walls for the workshop.
Wall are up!
Happy 2nd Birthday Leyla!
The roof is going up!
Wrapping the outside with Tyvek and soon to install the windows.
Sean began construction of his walls.
Everyone is helping get things in place. Having to secure the walls to the trailer with some massive bolts. Solaris and Chris are helping to hold the walls up and get everything lined up.
The roof is up and the windows are going in.
Windows are in! Next up is the siding and door.
Door installed thanks to Chris.
Up on the rooftop….haha
Getting the plywood put up on the Bento Studio.
Doing board and battens up on the workshop.
This side done!
We also put in a small storage loft in the workshop.
We ending up needing to replace the door frame to the tiny house. The water rot was too bad. The bottom of the frame was falling apart. We also decided to paint the tiny house the same color as the workshop.
All done!
We ended up cutting down a tree in the back that had fallen slightly during the winter months. Opens up the back more for Sean’s tiny house. Sean has his windows and doors in and the outside house wrap on.
Helping to install the massive window on the backside of the Bento Studio.
Added in some stairs and some outside insulation.
Made a little walking path to the workshop and adding in some plants.
Put down some cedar play chips so it’s not a mud pit during the winter.
Sean is making progress with his siding.
