Decisions, Decisions...and Finally a Trailer

It has been quite a while since I last published, but rest assured that I am well into the process of building a tiny house. After looking at the plans, and considering the advantages of each, and not really finding what I wanted, I decided to do my own design. No doubt the plans that I have reviewed will all influence the tiny house I build. More on this as I publish my progress.

My first purchase was a 20 foot trailer from Tiny Home Builders. It took just over a month for the trailer to get built, and then on September 1st I picked it up with my 2001 Mazda pickup in Logan, Utah. Logan is about 500 miles from my home in Arvada, Colorado.

Here is the pickup and new trailer just east of Logan. This was the prettiest part of the trip. My route home took me through southern Wyoming, across the continental divide, twice each way to be accurate. Much of southern Wyoming is in the Great Divide Basin, with the continental divide split on each side. Water in the basin normally stays there and can't flow to either the Atlantic or Pacific. The trailer was all my 4 cylinder pickup could handle on the long climbs. At 8 ft. 6 in. in width, the trailer was much wider than the pickup, and required some extra attention to keep it centered in the lane.

After getting it home, I managed to back the trailer into the work area, and start to level it.



So there it is, the foundation to my tiny house.
