More posts coming soon

I'll be soon back to work on the house but here is a little summary of the past 3 weeks.

First, I got a second quote for the SIPs and it was $9000 with taxes in, about the same price as the other quote.  As much as I would like to use SIPs, I can't justify spending and extra 4-5,000 on them.  Now I have to rework the plans to go with a conventional stick build.

Second, I spent 5 days on my motorcycle touring around Washington state and Victoria island.  It was awesome.

Third, I started school!

Finally, I sold my 28 foot toy hauler and had to drive it to Edmonton to meet the buyer.  With school and building the tiny house eating up a lot of cash the sale gives me a good buffer.

Two small updates.  I was given a second induction cook top for free!  I just bought a used 2500 pure sine wave inverter for 225!  Now I can run all the tools off the battery bank.

Expenses to date: $6,019
