Blocking Out the Floor Plan

While we wait for the bleaching oil on the exterior trim to dry, we've started on more more task that we'll have to figure out before the roofers arrive: cutting out the chimney hole! 

In order to know where to cut the chimney hole, we need to know where the wood stove will be. Because we're working in such a tiny space with such small tolerances, the only way to know exactly where the wood stove should be is to figure out where every thing in the tiny house will be. To this end, we bought several rolls of differently colored masking tape and blocked out the entire floor plan on the interior surface of our Tiny House. 


Having figured out where the base of the wood stove is going to go, the next step is to unbox the stove and dry fit it. this will help us translate the position of the stove on the floor into the position of the chimney's cathedral ceiling box on the roof.
