About the cleared area and maybe planting grass there (or something) may I warmly recommend white clover! (Klee auf Deutsch) It's wonderful hardy ground cover, grows naturally short so it doesn't need mowing, has really pretty white flower heads and is nitrogen fixing, so it will improve soil quality over time! It's the more sustainable option over conventional grass! This update is as always so great! I'm currently recovering from surgery where they had to remove a growth from my thyroid. While getting prepped for surgery I kept thinking of Laura and her positive attitude when finding scary problems in her house! "I'm glad we did this, I'm glad we found this!" Seeing you overcome problems and keep going is such a wonderful thing and so inspiring!
Swedish viewer here, almost choked on my coffee when I spotted that Falu paint! That stuff has shown it's true colours (pardon the pun) for 500 years. Wonderful.
Hi Laura - if the bottom of the window trim underside is perpendicular to the wall you may want to put a kerf about 1/4 to 1/2 inch back from the front. This will break the water surface tension allowing the water to drip to the ground as opposed to running back to the wall and behind the siding.
For the landscaping, do crushed gravel and raised beds. You’ll get better drainage in the wet season and the raised beds will be temporary structures you can move around.
Harry’s level of confidence in his time frame sounds like all of us when our partners ask, “and how much time are you going to be unavailable?” “Gonna be done in 2 hours. Tops. Maybe 3.” (9 days later-still not done)
Rule of estimating time for a project: 1. Start with your best guess. 2. Move to the next higher unit 3. Double the result from step 2. Thus, 3 hours becomes 3 days times 2 for a result of 6 days.
This reminds me of that one time I decided to paint the garden fence black and everyone thought I was crazy. Turns out plants look amazing against a black backdrop. As does a tiny house!
Please don't take this as a criticism. You should seal the ends of every cut and coat all 6 sides of any wood that you want to expose to the outside. Also, on your bottom sill, you should put a small cut on the underside about a half inch from the outer bottom edge to create a drip break to keep the water from wicking back under the windowsill. Anyway, I LOVE your channel!
It would be good to have a drip cut on the bottom of any window sills about 10mm back from the edge on the underside of the sill. That will reduce the chance of water infiltration.
So glad you put the drip profile on the top of the windows. You need one on the bottom of the windowsils too. Just cut a notch along the underside of the sill so the water can't flow back behind the cladding. I love the matt black cladding with the bare wood. It is a beautiful combination and I can't wait to see how you finish it off with the roof.
Normal procedure is to nail or screw siding near the bottom. This way everything is interlocked. Screw in top you will face a risk of panels bending outwards after a while due to thermal and moisture. Also those corners, although looking great, will cause water ingress. There is a reason why wooden houses have siding all the way out to the corners and the a vertical board covering the corner. Love the color scheme.
Very nice to see you happy! One note: the bottom sill of a window should also have a drip edge. With a slight angle and a groove on the underside. Water finds a way! Okay, two notes: add a silicon "finger smear" on the outside of those corner edges. And the bottoms.
You should cut a groove along the length of the outside window sills about a half inch in from the front edge. That way water running off the window will not, due to capillary action, run along the underside of the sill and into the siding. Make sure you caulk between the siding and the underside if the window sills. Looks nice.
You need to cut a groove in the underside of the bottom board of the window box frames to cause drips to drop off and down the outside of the larch lap sidings. Make the groove about 3-4mm deep and the same wide, about 5 mm back from the outer edge. Without this groove the rain drops will run back along the underside of the window box frame and then run down the inside of the larch lap.
Laura, I am not sure if you have already but I would recomend installing a small HRV system in the tiny home, It will help with the control of temp, humidity and assist with the management of mould and condensation
I have tears of emotion in my eyes because it turned out so beautifully. I'm totally happy for you, and I'm absolutely blown away by how you're pulling it all off.
You definitely need a "drip edge" on the flashing above the doors and windows so the water separates from the flashing and drops off. Otherwise, it can stick to the surface and travel down the underside and get behind the door or window. Also, as others have said, you should tape the top seam of the flashing where the flashing meets the house wrap paper so water cannot get behind that joint. And, as others said, when you are taping make sure you tape in a "waterfall" fashion I.E. taping should be done in the same order as your lap siding - bottom to top - such that the water deflects over top of the tap and not behind a lower tape seam.
I hope you taped the upturn of that drip flashing above the door. Otherwise water can still get behind. You should always wrap the building upwards, so that water falling down the face doesn't have the cracks to get behind anything. (Aka shingled)
In addition, would it not be better if the flashing above the door be turned up so that the rain won’t fall onto whomever leaves the door? Regardless: you’re doing great. Never stop improving
at 6:00, where you put on the side boards around the door, make sure you leave a little gap between the board and the aluminum, or the end grain will wick up the moisture and rot.
You should do a whole episode just on Smudo. How you got him, things he knows, things he likes and doesn't like, his funny habits. Dogs are the best people.
Note - You don't need to say "over and out" at the end of radio communications they mean different things "Over" means you have finished talking and you're waiting for response "Out" means communication has ended. Just say "out" at the end.
Loving that I get to share this journey with you. Also on a radio "over" means you are done speaking and expecting a response "out" means you are done with the conversation.. you would never use both at the same time. it's over or out not over & out.
I have a feeling she did that to annoy the amateur radio operators. Actually, I don't think amateur radio operators use "out" very much, they seem to mostly use "73".
The bottom edge of the window surround also need to slope for rain to runoff. Otherwise water will pool up and run down behind it. There is a mental trick to use in thinking these things through…think “I am water, where can I go?” That mental thinking trick is also handy for weight load distribution design thinking.
I realise every time I finish one of your videos I have a big smile on my face, whether it goes badly or well or in-between. Thanks for bringing lightness and joy into the world :)
I'm a former Architect living in Central Texas. Where we get very aggressive rain. You'd be amazed. I suggest you get someone who knows a bit more about flashing surface and/or material changes. We're no longer limited to bent metal flashings, but even the fancy tapes and sealants have to be installed correctly. (I've been eating up your videos for a number of years now, envying your abilities!)
Paint is beautiful!! Others have mentioned it, but leaving a small 1/8” gap at any place the siding hits another material (window, door, end of building) and then caulking that gap creates a more watertight system.
On your window water table, it's a good idea to add a small channel like an 1/8" dato on the underside so that as the water runs down and back towards the window it falls off from the dato'd gap. This is called a drip edge.
Love that you are doing what you do best with wood in this phase! Caulk/apply flashing to windows, door & house corners - you’ve already found out the hard way that tiny homes are highly susceptible to leaks! Otherwise, well done! ❤🌈☀️
grass wird dort nicht sehr gut wachsen mit dem steinboden untendrunter. das wasser hat keinen boden in dem es längere zeit bleiben kann. bei uns ist im garten super deutlich die fäche zu sehen, die unten drunter 20cm max erde hat und dann schotter kies etc. moos könnte ich mir vorstellen würde besser funktionieren. gibt auch tolle sorten die keine pflege brauchen und auch auf eine fixe höhe wachsen und nicht mehr wenn ich richtig liege. die stelle mit der bushalte und der bar hat fast was von einem kleinen campingplatz :D erst recht wenn das tiny house fertig ist ^^
Excited to see what you and the expert have planned for the roof! Plus you can get some tips for waterproofing from them instead of several hundred American men in the comments who might not necessarily be familiar with the materials you're working with lol!
i always love Laura's attitude and approach to problems. so positive, even if things are difficult, hard, challenging... facing set backs, etc. its such great energy 💕😀
So glad to see this coming together - and your happiness with it. One water related tip - the sill at the bottom of your windows should be slanted on the top just like the trim board across the top of the window. That way water will drain off and away from the window ledge instead of pooling on the sill and running down behind the sill and behind the siding below it. This does mean you will need to recut the side trim to match the angle of the sill. Just say no to water leaks!
It looks fantastic! You could always fill the space you cleared away to put the tiny house on with gravel. You could put black weed mat down first so no weeds & so would be a permanent base with almost no maintenance (& no mud inside the tiny house if it rains). If you wanted plants, flowers or herbs out there you could plant in pots & tubs. Just am idea x
1st You are a Great TH-camr 2nd You are doing awesome on the outside of your tiny house 3rd when you have finished the siding you should use a silicone caulk to seal between the siding and framing to keep it from leaking through at the corners.
Dear Laura, Over and Out is movie grade. Over means "I'm done talking and expect answer" and Out means "I'm done talking and don't expect an answer" ;-)
Bei den Fenstern würde ich am unteren Ende auf den Holzbrettern auch Fensterbänke aus Alu (wo oben) machen. Da kann das Wasser auch sich sammeln und über oder lang dann auch nicht innen fließen. Das möchte wir aber nicht noch einmal
You should tape the surrounds around the doors and windows where the touch the black planking. Water will sep between the two and will end up behind the surrounds. This will lead to water pooling and rot. You may also get water traveling along the screws and ending up in the building. Waterproof tape all seems and connections between materials.
I really like how the top and middle door hinges in Europe are both near the top of the door. We don't do that in the US and it makes so much more sense.
Looks beautiful indeed. W Will try and send sunny weather from our 30 degree days on the Sunshine Coast Australia so we can continue to share your joy.
If you want to waterproof your wood, coat the ends and backs of the wood with whatever you're using...paint, oil, etc. Primer works great. Also flash around the whole window and door :)
It really looks beautiful. If anything, I think the lower part of the frame around the windows should also have some slope to it as the upper part. Water from the rain, as we all know, does not always fall perfectly vertica. Other than that, beautiful job, indeed.
Geil! Falu Rödfärg is very traditional, it is really IronSulphate and some pigment added. The red pigment was the slag (leftovers) from the Swedish Copper-mines. But other colors was popular too, blue, black and even yellow. With no pigment in it the wood panel turns grey after a couple of months - looks awesome.
Looking grand! You are going to have a lovely home that may make others quite jealous! As a temporary dwelling it is far above the norm. Thank you for sharing this update, I know we all wish more days without rain for a fantastic finish!
I believe I would have bedded the window framing(top and sides), cut drip stops on the bottoms of the top and bottom sills, bedded the corners & bedded all the siding verticals ..... just sayin'
DO NOT caulk the bottom or the windows and doors. That way if water does get in there (and it will, eventually) it has a way to get out and not just sit there soaking into the wood.
About the cleared area and maybe planting grass there (or something) may I warmly recommend white clover! (Klee auf Deutsch) It's wonderful hardy ground cover, grows naturally short so it doesn't need mowing, has really pretty white flower heads and is nitrogen fixing, so it will improve soil quality over time! It's the more sustainable option over conventional grass!
This update is as always so great! I'm currently recovering from surgery where they had to remove a growth from my thyroid. While getting prepped for surgery I kept thinking of Laura and her positive attitude when finding scary problems in her house! "I'm glad we did this, I'm glad we found this!"
Seeing you overcome problems and keep going is such a wonderful thing and so inspiring!
Wishing a speedy recovery💪 hopefully they got it all out
Hope your recovery goes well! :)
I can second clover! It’s fabulous no mow ground cover, and the bees love it.
Swedish viewer here, almost choked on my coffee when I spotted that Falu paint! That stuff has shown it's true colours (pardon the pun) for 500 years. Wonderful.
Hi Laura - if the bottom of the window trim underside is perpendicular to the wall you may want to put a kerf about 1/4 to 1/2 inch back from the front. This will break the water surface tension allowing the water to drip to the ground as opposed to running back to the wall and behind the siding.
Listen to this advise - WISE!
Yup. We call it a drip in the UK. Essential.
We all know by now that there is no interesst in advice on sound building. "lets experiment and find out"
Yeah I’m a sheet metal worker and typ you need a drip edge
Please tape the top of the window head flashing with flashing tape to keep water from getting behind it. Otherwise your details are good!
I was also thinking she should have caulked the ends of the clapboards. Water will find its way in.
Better yet, cut a 45⁰ into the tar paper and slip it underneath then tape the seams
I was almost yelling the same thing at the screen.
For the landscaping, do crushed gravel and raised beds. You’ll get better drainage in the wet season and the raised beds will be temporary structures you can move around.
It’s beautiful!
You should put a plant in the old waste bin on the bus stop! It's gonna be so cozy! Can't wait to see it all come together!

Hey! I resemble that remark.
True but he was very tongue in cheek
Delia Guzman, You know the routine!
Just say it will be done by christmas, and dont say which year.
This reminds me of that one time I decided to paint the garden fence black and everyone thought I was crazy. Turns out plants look amazing against a black backdrop.
As does a tiny house!
I like the little detour to rearrange the outside area, I do most of my cleaning jobs while procrastinating on a difficult project!
Please don't take this as a criticism. You should seal the ends of every cut and coat all 6 sides of any wood that you want to expose to the outside. Also, on your bottom sill, you should put a small cut on the underside about a half inch from the outer bottom edge to create a drip break to keep the water from wicking back under the windowsill.

Okay, two notes: add a silicon "finger smear" on the outside of those corner edges. And the bottoms.

Drip edge
Laura, I am not sure if you have already but I would recomend installing a small HRV system in the tiny home, It will help with the control of temp, humidity and assist with the management of mould and condensation
Rough cut black, red door, surrounded by finished natural wood, Beautiful!!!!
I have tears of emotion in my eyes because it turned out so beautifully. I'm totally happy for you, and I'm absolutely blown away by how you're pulling it all off.
"This would be a great place to curate all my junk" is the best sentence I've heard ever. You're such an inspiration for sustainable DIY'ing!
So fun seeing you crow when a piece of siding is cut perfectly and pops into place.
You definitely need a "drip edge" on the flashing above the doors and windows so the water separates from the flashing and drops off.
Otherwise, it can stick to the surface and travel down the underside and get behind the door or window.

Regardless: you’re doing great. Never stop improving
Okay hear me out: Instead of wheels, you mount Little Lotte on chicken legs and go full Baba Yaga.
Best idea 😂😂😂
🐓🐓🐓
Someone is a dropout subscriber
omg yes
🤣
Make sure you leave a gap for expansion and contraction
at 6:00, where you put on the side boards around the door, make sure you leave a little gap between the board and the aluminum, or the end grain will wick up the moisture and rot.
You should do a whole episode just on Smudo. How you got him, things he knows, things he likes and doesn't like, his funny habits. Dogs are the best people.
Note - You don't need to say "over and out" at the end of radio communications they mean different things
"Over" means you have finished talking and you're waiting for response
"Out" means communication has ended.
Just say "out" at the end.
Most common mistake due to hollywood doing it wrong. :D
I suppose it could mean "over to you, but I'm not hanging around to listen to your reply, out!" 😄
Thank you for addressing this issue Paul, now I don't have to. Bugs me no end to hear it used incorrectly!
Have you noticed that you've developed a grunting/sound communication, Felix & You? The future of this channel is wordless ;)
Laura, the caravan looks beautiful and.......I love your dog. He's so happy, smart and shiny!
Loving that I get to share this journey with you. Also on a radio "over" means you are done speaking and expecting a response "out" means you are done with the conversation.. you would never use both at the same time. it's over or out not over & out.

Before you put your wood around the windows, you should have used window sealing tape!
I'm a former Architect living in Central Texas. Where we get very aggressive rain. You'd be amazed.
I suggest you get someone who knows a bit more about flashing surface and/or material changes. We're no longer limited to bent metal flashings, but even the fancy tapes and sealants have to be installed correctly.

Hey Laura - now that quote of yours is one that will be so useful for me as well: "...to _curate_ all my junk..." 🥰 gotta love it!!
Always nice to see you smiling and happy, love the progress on another one of your Tiny House projects. Be well.
I'm glad you had at least a day without rain and could get things done without exposing more of the house to rain.
Paint is beautiful!! Others have mentioned it, but leaving a small 1/8” gap at any place the siding hits another material (window, door, end of building) and then caulking that gap creates a more watertight system.

Love that you are doing what you do best with wood in this phase! Caulk/apply flashing to windows, door & house corners - you’ve already found out the hard way that tiny homes are highly susceptible to leaks! Otherwise, well done! ❤🌈☀️
Liselittle is looking fiiiine! That matte black is beautiful.
Yes on the corners! Never ever do a mitered corner for the siding. Well done. Love the dogs!
I really like your channel because of how happy you are. It's refreshing
Are you going to seal the end grains and cut edges of your boards to prevent them from absorbing water?
grass wird dort nicht sehr gut wachsen mit dem steinboden untendrunter. das wasser hat keinen boden in dem es längere zeit bleiben kann. bei uns ist im garten super deutlich die fäche zu sehen, die unten drunter 20cm max erde hat und dann schotter kies etc.
moos könnte ich mir vorstellen würde besser funktionieren. gibt auch tolle sorten die keine pflege brauchen und auch auf eine fixe höhe wachsen und nicht mehr wenn ich richtig liege.
die stelle mit der bushalte und der bar hat fast was von einem kleinen campingplatz :D erst recht wenn das tiny house fertig ist ^^
Everything according to plan! Yesss! Beautiful outcome!
Excited to see what you and the expert have planned for the roof! Plus you can get some tips for waterproofing from them instead of several hundred American men in the comments who might not necessarily be familiar with the materials you're working with lol!
i always love Laura's attitude and approach to problems. so positive, even if things are difficult, hard, challenging... facing set backs, etc. its such great energy 💕😀

Everyone needs a Harry in their life!

Etna.
Dear Laura, Over and Out is movie grade. Over means "I'm done talking and expect answer" and Out means "I'm done talking and don't expect an answer" ;-)
Aaaah, good ol' Falu Rödfärg! I respect your choice of paint!
Gut gemacht! Wirklich gut gemacht!
A bit of silicon around the edges of the door windows and where the ends of the wood are and you’ll be water tight
She’s so beautiful!! I think I would slant those outside bottom boards on the windows to keep the water out.❤️🤗🐝
Hooray! So glad you finally caught a break with this project!
The end result is super beautiful. Clap clap to you !
Your new tiny house is so beautiful. I am so very proud for you!
It's BEAUTIFUL like each and everyone of you! Including the lovable smoodo xxxxxxx and friend xxxxxx
putting a swing in your outdoor area actually sounds like it would be such fun!
Bei den Fenstern würde ich am unteren Ende auf den Holzbrettern auch Fensterbänke aus Alu (wo oben) machen. Da kann das Wasser auch sich sammeln und über oder lang dann auch nicht innen fließen. Das möchte wir aber nicht noch einmal
I absolutely love the joy you show for your life.
Really rejoicing on your success after so much struggle!
Yes. Your tiny house looks fantastic on the outside.
As usual, it’s awesome- it’s the journey that makes you appreciate the result.
It’s coming along nicely. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God bless.
Paint the end grain of the siding. That’s the most important part
You should tape the surrounds around the doors and windows where the touch the black planking. Water will sep between the two and will end up behind the surrounds. This will lead to water pooling and rot. You may also get water traveling along the screws and ending up in the building. Waterproof tape all seems and connections between materials.
The black finish is gorgeous.
The black siding looks like the burned wood Japanese technique, BEAUTIFUL!!!
The tiny house looks amazing!!!! 🎉🎉
Beautiful! I love the contrast of door and siding
WOW!!! Your Tiny house is Perfect and Love the red door,
It is beautiful! Although it will get quite hot inside in the summer I suppose due to the matt black fasade
A beautiful addition. Well done! Keep it working!
Laura, Felix, Shmudo and gang - you're all so GEIL!
Laura, your vison is a vision. Beautiful job.
I really like how the top and middle door hinges in Europe are both near the top of the door. We don't do that in the US and it makes so much more sense.
Just love your enthousiasm, positivity and "joie de vivre" in general! Thanks for your uplifting videos...
Finally, the sun shines on the tiny house. Soon it will be a home.
Congratulations for the new exterior, Laura!!!
Looking good!
Good idea to pull that door trim up off of the bottom drop edge by a 5mm. End grain will soak up any moisture that collects there
Looks beautiful indeed. W
Will try and send sunny weather from our 30 degree days on the Sunshine Coast Australia so we can continue to share your joy.
how nice it is to see you happy on a sunny winter day!
If you want to waterproof your wood, coat the ends and backs of the wood with whatever you're using...paint, oil, etc. Primer works great. Also flash around the whole window and door :)
Smudo is such a great doggo 🐶. He makes me smile everytime he pops around.
It really looks beautiful. If anything, I think the lower part of the frame around the windows should also have some slope to it as the upper part. Water from the rain, as we all know, does not always fall perfectly vertica. Other than that, beautiful job, indeed.
Geil! Falu Rödfärg is very traditional, it is really IronSulphate and some pigment added. The red pigment was the slag (leftovers) from the Swedish Copper-mines. But other colors was popular too, blue, black and even yellow.
With no pigment in it the wood panel turns grey after a couple of months - looks awesome.
After all the trials and tribulations you have gone through with this project, it is nice to see you truly smile. Keep broadcasting!!
Looking grand! You are going to have a lovely home that may make others quite jealous! As a temporary dwelling it is far above the norm. Thank you for sharing this update, I know we all wish more days without rain for a fantastic finish!
Looking brilliant everything is a step closer to a beautiful New small home xx
Don't forget to caulk ALL the edges and corners, around the windows and door and at the end of each piece of siding.
I believe I would have bedded the window framing(top and sides), cut drip stops on the bottoms of the top and bottom sills, bedded the corners & bedded all the siding verticals ..... just sayin'
DO NOT caulk the bottom or the windows and doors. That way if water does get in there (and it will, eventually) it has a way to get out and not just sit there soaking into the wood.
@@HandlebarWorkshops You mean underneath, right?
@@Greywulff58 exactly!
Out of chaos comes ultimate creativity. This was our saying in Fine Arts College. I see so much of myself in you... when I was much younger!
Your tiny house is very beautiful bravo bravo very good job the red color wither black color is so lovely
that color combo with doors and siding and wood is actually sick!
Love the black swedish paint called "Rödfärg" (Red paint).
