While I was the master painter on the wall paneling boards, Eli was in brainstorm mode. Since the tiny house, and therefore trailer, spends 99.9% of its time sitting in one place, we wanted to provide some protection from the elements to the trailer tires. We definitely have quite a bit of left over materials from past aspects of the build, so Eli was feeling we could go the homemade route for a solution.
Being lost in the land of paint and Polycrylic and sanders, I missed much of the creative process exuding from the mind and fingers of Eli, but with some OSB boards, a pattern jig or two, left over 2x4s, old climbing rope, and a coat of paint to match the house trim, Eli brought a pair of tire covers into existence! The rope that wraps around the tires to hold the board in place even doubles as a carrying strap. Our tiny house now has a pair of… hill silhouettes, of course! 😉
