We decided to put regular windows on the front side of the tiny house, even though there will be less air flow that way, because only half the window opens. With the huge door on that side, the air flow isn’t a problem. We are going to leave the old windows on the back, just replacing the glass where it is needed. They open so the entire opening lets air in.

So we bought those two windows at Lowe’s yesterday, got them installed and framed on the outside and decided to paint the frame white to match the windows. That was a good call, because it makes the windows look a little larger. We also decided to paint the door the same color as the walls because it is so low and wide and looks a little odd. But we are out of paint for now, so that will have to wait.

Don also put in a conduit and another electrical box that will be to the left of the fridge and be used for the fridge and the various appliances on the countertop.

We picked up a nice enough toaster oven for $3.00 at the church garage sale yesterday. It was covered with grease, but I got it washed up pretty well (there is still grease on the glass door) and it seems to work fine. I finished off the brownies in it and learned that the toaster setting needs to be turned to on, even if you are not making toast! It is really the on/off switch, combined with the toast darkness setting.  The brownies turned out fine, considering they were moved, mid-bake, from the oven to the toaster oven and then the heat was turned off for a while, then turned back on.

The first of the plants are up in the garden boxes – the beets, onions and spinach and maybe a pea or two! I watered them good twice – morning and late afternoon. I planted a few peonies back by the grove of trees behind the tiny house. I just dug up the sod and filled the hole with compost, because we have quite a lot left.  The other plants from the back yard in Blountville are in pots until I discover what they are. Right now they are just tall, grass-like plants, sort of like wild onions, but not.
