In this video, we go over how we installed the subfloor of the tiny house on wheels. We used Roxul Insulation for the custom built Iron Eagle Tiny House Trailer.

    REALLY enjoying your series. Very well thought out editing wise, and I'm liking your design ideas. Peanut from Tiny House Customs sent me here, so Hi!
  • You said "Tell Us What You Think" Here's what I think... You both are doing a great job, and this project looks like it will turn out awesome... #1 I would've put wedges under each hole drilled in 2×6... Wood will split in a straight line overtime where holes are line up in a row( stagger the holes)...#2 When you put the boards down on top of the plywood, you should have put a nail or something to hold it in place, the insulation won't hold it... #3 Stagger the insulation, so that short pieces aren't on one side in... Thumbs up ur vid...

    wont that condensate between the insulation and the sheet metal?
  • the "brackets" that attach the base plates to the joists are called "hangers" the majority of the hangers are called concealed face hangers and the one that looks different are called face hangers. for this application, being that there is already a metal trailer frame holding everything up, hangers arent really needed. I would have predrilled the holes for the for the perimeter and then attached the joist with simple structural nails...then i would have dropped the subfloor into position and fastened it to the frame. assuming the hangers are Simpson LUC210z...those are pretty pricey.

    Change that skillsaw blade for a cleaner cut , it'll lengthen the life of the saw too . Less stress on it

    The bird in the background is a varied thrush. I take it they are in the Pacific Northwest.
