Sooo, How is everyone's summer coming along? I have had a busy summer and really looking forward to my upcoming beach vacation. I noticed that blog posts are at a all time low. Hopefully, its due to summer and vacations, I would hate to think some of you gave up blogging. I have seen some phenomenal work being done with the 2015 HBS Creatin Contest kit. I have started and stopped, and now started again. Here are a few updates on my progress:
I started by playing around with the pieces of this kit as if it was a puzzle. I thought why not keep the original structure just move the sliding door. My only problem, I wanted the ceiling raised higher. If you notice from my first brainstorming for this build, I wanted to add a dormer for the top center. That proved challenging.
I knew that I wouldn't change the floor plan, so I assembled it and glued it down.
Through my many internet searches I found these:
It gives me the space I need and high ceilings.
And this one has the dormer. Although it looks more like a slanted roof.
So I began cutting and joining the two kits together.
Figuring out the interior layout.
Let's see what it looks like all assembled...
This is where I am now. Trying to figure out how to put a dormer on top.
I made those stairs using wooden blocks.
I decided that I did not want the whole top floor, so now its a loft. I wanted the ceiling beams to be visible from the bottom floor. And to be able to see the bottom floor from the second level.
I am obsessed with watching Tiny House shows. This is not quite a tiny house but I am building it with a tiny house concept in mind.
This is what I have in mind for the dormer. Honestly, I may scrap it altogether...
Until next time...
It gives me the space I need and high ceilings.
