Here's what we bought ahead of time. We've decided to list here both what the items cost us (incl. tax and shipping), as well as links to the sites where we found the best price (where possible), in hopes of helping anyone out there who's making plans of their own...
- Customized Tiny-House Trailer--$4,400
- 26 Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for the walls and roof--$3,700
- Separett Villa9000 (Composting Toilet)--$1,289

Other things we decided on ahead of time, and acquired locally in Colorado:
- Blue Pine Tongue and Groove interior paneling
- Left-over exterior siding donated by Jenna's parents from another project
- Left-over roofing donated by a friend
- Windows, doors, flooring, cabinets, etc. from a building surplus store in Denver
Most of these items involved a great deal of background research and much deliberation. We focused on using sustainable materials wherever possible, and also on reusing and repurposing everything we could. We considered many other brands and options before eventually making the choices we did.
