The Stone Soup Tiny House Blog

"...what have you in these houses? And what is it you guard with fastened doors?
Have you peace, the quiet urge that reveals your power?
Have you remembrance, the glimmering arches that span the summits of the mind?
Have you beauty, that leads the heart from things fashioned of wood and stone to the holy mountain?"

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

The ceiling is beautiful

We have just finished putting the ceiling in the tiny house. The wood is salvaged, lightly sanded, and oiled. It has a complex, dark amber color, with visible saw marks.
Because the wood was older, it was irregular and needed to be squared up. We used the saw mill to create board of the same height, and then a skill saw to cut the board to the length they needed to be.

The board were ship lapped, using a router. In the image below, you can see one of the ship lapped edges.

There pieces where finished with oil, and installed. It took about three days to do the whole ceiling.
