OM Build Tiny House Weekly Update:
We have a new roof! OM Build volunteers assisted our professional roofer Michael to tear off the leaky 70-year-old asphalt roof and replace it with a new rubber-membrane roof. And Michael added some extra-heavy decking in case we ever want to install a roof garden! Below, Rob moves roof scrap out to the dumpster.

Have materials you’d like to donate? Please check out our wish list.

Sign-up procedure: Click here to sign up for a shift. We work with volunteers at all skill levels, so don’t hesitate to volunteer simply because you lack construction experience.

Please come ready to work, dressed in work clothes that can get dirty or smeared with paint.

We have a dumpster! Below, volunteer Garrett poses in front of our new dumpster, which has been filled with the remnants of a 70-year-old plaster ceiling that had suffered extensive damage due to a long-neglected leaky roof. This week, we tear off the old roof and prepare to install a new one. This is the week to volunteer, if you like getting dirty!

OM Build Tiny House Weekly Update:Progress at E. Johnson: More than a dozen volunteers at  our weekend workdays cleaned interior walls and prepped for painting and got the floor ready for sanding. Up top, the old chimney and vents have been removed to prepare for a new roof. Outside, the fence now completely encloses the back yard, so we can have secure storage of materials. Below, our Site committee makes plans for the next weekend workday.

Have materials you’d like to donate? Please check out our wish list. And a big thanks to our local Sherwin-Williams store for donating 25 gallons of interior paint!
