Tiny House Construction: Step 6 - Framing the Dormers for the Sleeping Loft

We've placed the support beams for the lofts, framed all the inside pieces of those walls in between the beams, and attached the loft subfloor (we'll install paneling on the bottom and hardwood flooring on the top at a later date). Now it's time to frame out the three main walls in our sleeping loft. Since the roof above the sleeping loft is a 3 & 12 pitch, and the rest of the house has a 12 & 12 roof pitch, the front part of the dormer area will get two small "cheek walls" at a later date, after the roof rafters are up. For now, just having walls up there makes it start to feel like a room! This is the really fun exciting part where our long flat trailer starts to really look like a house! A quick note about our framing nailer: We are using a Hitachi 21° Framing Nailer, which we bought at Lowes. Kevin did a lot of research before buying this framing nailer, and frankly, we love it! It's been great. It's easy to use, easy to load, relatively lightweight, well-balanced, almost never jams, and has worked great for us so far. We did have the option of going with a gun that shoots paper-collated nails or plastic-collated, and we went with plastic. Why? Well, mostly because we've never built a house before and it seemed like as good a choice as any. . . . We have since realized that it is somewhat harder to find plastic-collated nails in a variety of sizes and options, while pretty much every hardware store on Earth carries tons of different kinds of paper-collated nails. Live and learn, right? Anyway, if you should happen to have occasion to buy a framing nailer, we would recommend going with paper instead of plastic.
