This week the build out for one of my lofts was required so that the ridge beam and rafters can be built from the inside out.

First I had to insulate and EcoFoil the exterior floor over the deck.

I have chosen to “pickle” the boards with white primer and two layers of acrylic varnish to allow the woods lovely surface that ethereal aesthetic finish which will be featured throughout the tiny house interior. Just enough to tone down the busyness of the wood yet still leave an appreciation of its surface qualities.

The underside of the loft boards were also sanded and given the same finish where they will be visible.
