An Encounter with Tiny House Nation
So, an odd thing happened the last week or so. Darrin works for Magellan Insulation and his company was contracted to insulate a tiny house in Kenmore with a special spray foam made by a company called Demilec. This tiny house is going to be featured on Tiny House Nation, (Episode #209) a show about the growing tiny house movement. Darrin and I watch the show because they have some pretty nifty space saving ideas for downsizing, and it's fun to see what they do with these little houses.
Darrin and I drove up Kenmore on Sunday to take a look. This house is being built on an 8' x 24' trailer (same as ours) and will have a double loft. Unfortunately, when we saw it, they hadn't finished framing it so it's anyone's guess what the finished house will look like, but here are a couple pictures...
This house looks very narrow in person because it's so tall and there is no variation in roof pitch. Zack Giffin, from the show, was on site when we got there, so we got to meet him and chat with him for a couple minutes. Darrin has been to the site a couple of times to check on the insulation and got to meet John Weisbarth and even got to hang out and chat with Zack a while longer. Pretty neat! It's definitely more fun watching the show after you've met the guys. I'll be interested to see the episode. =)

How cool! To see all of this happening "in person". It's very cool you got to meet people from the show This is all reminding me of "Treehouse Masters" - we watch that show, and my friend just had her treehouse featured this past summer. I don't recall the episode #, but she can do her reiki and massage in it now. It has a FABULOUS Himalayan rock salt wall on one end. Amazing place.
