[I did this work the weekend before Thanksgiving]

I did the lofts over a weekend. This was scary because I had to work around any bad weather. Until I get the rafters up, a tarp will not protect the lofts. The reason is the same as to why the bottom floor got ruined. The middle will fill up with water. With nowhere to go, it will get heavier and heavier until it shreds the tarp and soaks everything.

Things went VERY quickly. I was amazed at how much progress I made in just a few days. No rain yet.

The Tiny Home has a little 4’x4′ porch which is little more than a square hole right now.

I’ve been kicking around ideas for what to do. Here are some ideas:

Wooden Slats

I saw a nice wall hanging at Target that would look really cool as a porch.

The hanging’s slats are too thin to support a person’s weight, so I’d have to either reinforce it or build my own.

Tile

If I go with tile, I would need something to support it. I could make some supports out of steel and then powder-coat them to prevent rust.

Steel

Speaking of seel, I could make supports out of steel and weld expanded metal to the top as the deck/porch. I’d leave it to rust because that would look cool.

What do you think?
