Daughter’s tiny house

shinnlinger · November 29, 2020, 04:29:33 PM

Made some good progress over break with my daughter and I have to say this has been a great experience. The footprint is 13x22. Siding will be angled 1x10 boards for shear with 4"batts. The roof decking will probably be a pile of used T-111 I have kicking around. I will have to take some pics of the view. It overlooks a tiny pond, garden and barn.

Too late for this but for future knowledge;

QuoteStuds shall be continuous from support at the sole plate to a support at the top plate to resist loads perpendicular to the wall. The support shall be a foundation or floor, ceiling or roof diaphragm or shall be designed according to accepted engineering practice.

I appreciate it this. 20-20 hindsight would have changed a few things, including this, but there will be a cap/loft on a fair bit of it which will tie the front wall to the back in much the same way.Also the exterior sheathing will tie it all together. Based on your feedback here, I will make more connections in a more meaningful way than I otherwise would have.

Thanks.

I was going to suggest a "plant shelf" to act as a built up beam, the loft will do a better job of that. I like the scallop on the tails

Plant beam has a nice ring to it though. I asked her if she wanted to do a detail on the end and at first she wasn't that interested but then really got into it. She cut them all herself with a jigsaw. I wish I took a picture of that.
