Today’s Shout-Out goes to Allegion for providing handle sets and locks for our model tiny home. One of the products they carry is the Schlage line, and they have sponsored a complete set of handles and locks for our home, including a Smart lock for the front door. No more keys!
Doug at Timbercraft has agreed to allow us to give away the plans for our Logan32 tiny home that they provided. They created the plans based on our home concept and you can view and download them for free!
If you have ever wondered what would be required to frame and build a tiny home, the Logan32 plans include these details. You will still need to talk to an electrician, plumber and gas fitter about running your services in the home, but this can give you an idea of the structure and materials. We have designed the home to group the services together to minimize costs. This house is designed for year-round living and includes a full set of appliances. It is also seniors friendly as the loft is simply for storage, and the bedroom is on the main floor.
The house is 32′ long (plus 4′ tongue with utility room) x 8.5′ wide so it can be pulled on the road without a special permit.
Today’s Shout-Out goes to Goodfellow Inc. for wood products.
We needed some quality wood products for the tiny home build and reached out to Goodfellow as we knew they carried the products we needed. Rene passed along our request to the owners and they wanted to contribute to the home build, as well as supporting the donation of the house to charity after the tour. While we had some challenges on our end trying to coordinate picking up the product from their Ottawa location, Rene and Patrick were able to accommodate us and deliver the product to Kingston. Thanks, guys!
Well as things are getting back to normal, we have begun adding the product sponsors to the website once again. We have had a lot of positive support pouring in over the last while, which has renewed our enthusiasm for the Tiny Town Association project.
One of the first companies to become a corporate partner on the Association website was InfraredHeat.ca and we are pleased to be able to thank them for sponsoring an infrared heating panel. This is one of the most environmentally friendly sources of heating available, not to mention attractive.
Today’s sponsor shout-out goes to Whirlpool. Whirlpool has sponsored a complete set of appliances for the Logan32, in a smaller format. They also provided a natural gas range and dryer, which is helping us keep the power requirements low. Our Tiny Town design plans to use solar for electricity and waste conversion to produce renewable natural gas (RNG). Thes gas appliances will help lighten the solar load.
Regrettably, due to a supply-chain issue, our build is running behind. Progress is being made and you can see the underlying construction methods of the KTect SBS SIPs. It’s really incredible to think that this tiny house is being designed to withstand Hurricane 4 gusts. In addition, the innovative insulation system should make it meet code in any part of Canada! This will be a house without bounds.
The Logan32 build is underway! While we have secured some sponsors for our upcoming 49-city tour across Ontario, we are still looking for more. We wanted to explain to businesses the opportunities that exist by sponsoring the tour:
The following additional benefits will be enjoyed by sponsors of specific items/services:
