Now that I'm back, I have resumed work on the tiny house. I will be finishing up the exterior next, so first thing to do is the windows…I was planning to buy them, but apparently windows are mega expensive and it takes four or five weeks to get them custom made with tempered glass. That's time we don't have, so I decided to make them myself instead. A window is a window, right? I have ten windows to makes total.
These are the two I made today. They're still pretty expensive because I'm using oak wood for the frames (which ain't cheap), as well as polycarbonate instead of glass since its 200 times stronger than glass and relatively easy to cut. But, I will still save well over a thousand dollars making them myself, so that seems reasonable to me.
Once all the windows are finished, I can put on the exterior cladding, and then the outside will be basically done. Then I will get some long awaited leave from the Army and I will start work on the inside. Keep us in your prayers as we start approaching the deadline to have everything finished!
