We’re in our tiny cabin, making pancakes on a lovely Sunday morning, and preparing to install the last window! This tiny cabin has become more than just a tiny cabin; it’s a tiny home filled with all the perfect touches. The weather this year hasn’t been ideal, but we’re hopeful for next year.
Moving the Stove Pipe
Before we can install the window, we need to dismantle the big stove pipe. Ryan is going to relocate it through the ceiling, which means a bit of work. We’ve got to be careful with how the window is treated to prevent any issues.
Cutting Out the Window
To install the window, Ryan must carefully cut through the sheathing after securing it properly. This precaution prevents vibrations during the cutting process, which is crucial for achieving a clean installation. While it may be a bit challenging, it is essential for ensuring the window is installed correctly.
Applying the BlueSkin
Once the window opening is ready, we apply BlueSkin around the frame. This waterproofing measure ensures that if any water seeps under the window itself, the wooden structure beneath the window will stay dry and therefore be protected from molding. This BlueSkin is quite sticky, so precision is key when laying it down!
Lifting the Window in Place
Now comes the moment we’ve been waiting for: lifting the window into place! It’s heavy, but with teamwork, we manage to get it secured. The view starts to come alive as we see the trees outside through the new window.
A Fantastic Panorama!
With the window installed, we step back to admire our work. The cabin is filled with natural light, and the view is breathtaking. We can now track the sun and moon across the sky and gaze at the stars while cozying up inside at night next to the warmth of our little stove.
Staining the Kitchen Countertop
With the window installed, it’s time to finish up the kitchen. We have a beautiful live edge countertop to stain and seal, ready to be the centerpiece of our tiny kitchen.
As we finish up, we take a moment to reflect on how this tiny cabin has truly transformed into a cozy home—where we can enjoy nature together while enjoying the comforts of modern living. It’s not just a structure anymore; it’s a place filled with memories, laughter, and shared moments.
