  Nice. Would be lovely if you posted more frequently. Personally, I recently joined the Tiny House Movement and am enjoying every bit of it.

  Hi Kevin. Tiny houses are more expensive than RVs, and also heavier, so they are not as practical for regular travel. Of course, it depends how big it is.

  I hope all is well. Is a small home cheaper and just as useful as an RV?

  Anybody need a GINORMOUS tarp? Actually, I suppose we should keep it for the next time our BIG house has to be re-roofed.

  Hi Dana,
  Thanks for your input. I did eventually look up the "acceptable tolerances" for wall framing and found that we were well within them, though it sounds like that might not be saying much! I think most builders must pad their rough openings a bit more. I just followed the directions given by the door and window manufacturers.

  The trailer has two 8" steel C-channel runners going the full length. They rest on the axle assembly which is toward the middle, so if the trailer were to bend anywhere, it would be at the front and back rather than the middle. Crossmembers are 4" C-channel, spaced 36" apart. They are capped at the ends by two more 4" pieces running the full length.

  After thinking about the flatness issue a little bit more, I wonder what the structural rigidity of your frame is. In other words, the floor is essentially a big beam, and given a certain load, will bend. Even with thick I beams, over a long span (the length of the house), a modest load will cause the "foundation" to flex. This calculation can be easily approximated with "beam formulas", or modeled with finite element programs (such as Lisa which, for small models can be obtained for free on the internet, or larger models costs about $100). The easiest approximation would be the beam formulas; the first reference I found on the internet is: http://www.awc.org/pdf/codes-standards/publications/design-aids/AWC-DA6-BeamFormulas-0710.pdf . It would be interesting to see what load would cause the floor to dip, say 1/4" in the middle. It probably isn't that large. This is why you see big trailers for tractors actually arc'd up in the middle. When heavily loaded, that big beam bends flat.

  Sounds like you're doing a great job making your tiny house square.

  Actually, most houses built on foundations are NOT perfectly square, and it is not at all uncommon for a room to be 1/2" out of square, or more. All the places I've lived in have been disappointingly not square (and in the case of floors, not flat--which can be an issue when you're later tiling floor with 18" tiles--which have to be leveled with additional concrete or leveling compound).

  Inside most houses this "sloppy construction" is covered up with drywall and drywall tape to close gaps, then glossed over with "texture" to further hide gaffs. This explains why you never see a builder agonizing over the rectitude of his walls. They just do a fair job on the foundation, but after that, throw up the construction using, at most, a framing square and a tape. They do the outside walls first, then fill in with the inner walls. If the inner walls are off by a little bit, they don't care. All they have to do with the outer walls is make sure they are "over" the foundation...
