🏗️ Big Moves, Bigger Builds | Our New Warehouse Tour + What’s Next! 🛠️

We finally moved into our new warehouse. What's up everybody? I'm Gabe Jentiel, production manager at Tiny House Listings. And uh as of right now, we're standing in our new warehouse. We are fully moved over, but we're not fully set up yet. So, we're going to kind of go out there and uh walk you through kind of our setup. Now that you can see some things, we'll we'll get we'll go through it and you can really start to get a visual of how things are going to look. But right now, I'm in the dungeon, which is what I like to call it. This is where the guys break room is going to be. So, we're going to have a nice nice sink, microwave, toaster oven, you know, going to be a fridge and all that stuff in here for them. This is where the guys can come on the lunch break. If they bring their lunch, they can heat it up, eat it. Got a nice place to decompress. It's very cool in here. Um, but uh, as walking out of here, and and don't worry, we're we're going to spruce it up for them. They don't have to live like cremagins, you know what I mean? They'll they'll they'll they'll be all right. So, coming out here, I'm thinking this will be coffee bar area. If there's a guest who's, you know, personalizing their tiny home, they want to come visit. Um, they can get a coffee, they can get a water, maybe a soda, some sort of snack. So, that'll be for guests. And then, so we're going to do a nice painted wall. I'll do a nice countertop, probably an espresso machine. The team here, especially the administration team, me, Steve, our administrative assistant sales team, really love espresso. I think we all have our own personal machine. So, I think we should bring one to the warehouse. Also, hence the name, the Cortado. It was born because we all love coffee. Um, so coming down the aisle, the hallway. This is kind of just the the walkthrough zone. Um, out there's the shop. So, on my left, so this is office number one. So, we just got the floors painted. We're going to spruce up the walls, too. Probably put some art in there. maybe add some color, be able to fit a nice desk, maybe a couple extra chairs in there. So, if there's our office administrator is with somebody, they have room to sit there and move around comfortably. So, this is door number one. And then coming back, we got door number two. The door is getting fixed. We're putting a whole new door in. This is going to be the uh guest bathroom. I didn't show you because they were cleaning it and fixing it, but in the in the break room there is uh bathrooms for the guys and myself who work out there. But this will pretty much be strictly for guests only. So, it'll be night nice and tidy. You can see we painted the floor in here as well. We spruced up all the um stalls and restructured things. We're going to give it a nice paint job on the ceiling so that way someone comes in, they can use the bathroom. And then coming back to door number three, we don't know what it's going to be yet. It might be another office because we're expanding. Obviously, we're going to a bigger warehouse. We're going to need more personnel in house. Um, so this will probably be somebody else's office. Still needs a little bit sprucing up, but we painted the floor in there as well. So, that's kind of like the back offices and break room of our new warehouse. So, coming through our big red door, we just we just looked at the offices in the new uh new relaxation space of Tiny House Sistings. Um so, as you come out that that break room door, you're greeted by which will be our uh trailer prep zone. So, you can see I got a couple lined up here to my right. Um so, they'll be they wouldn't be with the floor f system framed on it already. We we we brought that one over from the old warehouse. Um but they would be lined up without the floor on. They wouldn't have the lights or the chains or the D-rings or trailer brakes or anything like that hooked up yet. That'll actually get done probably in these three to two spots. Kind of where the truck is now to where I am is where the tiny house will get prepped for framing. So then we're going to come this way. So, this will kind of be like maneuvering zone. The tiny houses will get moved along with a forklift here. And then pretty much once we get past this one pole, we're going to have two cranes. We'll have we're going to have one that goes like this. It'll go up and over. So, this crane will go this way back and forth. And then basically right where that other pole is, there's going to be another one. So, this this will be zone one for framing. So, this will be where floor framing only, floor framing only. And once we get the cranes up, we'll show you some videos of how that works. Uh, this is where only that's going to get done. So, the floor will get framed, the underside will get painted right here, picked up with the crane. So, the tiny house will be on the left of me, the framing table will be on the right, and the crane will span both. It'll come down this way. And then to the right of me, which is to the left of you, would be kind of where you can see we got lumber stored there. Now, that's kind of where we're going to store lumber for this section. And then we take another long walk. Then we're in zone two. So zone two is where the walls will get framed. Your interior siding will get put on. Whether you do sheetrock, plywood, painted, unpainted, anything like that, that'll get done here. Same thing. Framing table, tiny house craned up, dropped on. And then we will one cool thing about this these lights. These guys don't know it yet but well they kind of do but when you walk under them they turn on. So let me see. So if I'm sitting in my office and I don't see no lights on, I know nobody's working. So they don't really know that yet, but they're going to learn real quick. So then finally coming into zone three. This is where tiny houses are going to turn the corner. This is where the roof system gets framed in. So, there'll be a nice table here. Guys will frame the roof, sheet it, do whatever they have to do. Crane it on. So, this one might be reversed framing table tiny house because once it gets here, they're going to slide down that way. Okay. So, then we'll slide down this way. And basically each pillar section is going to house one to two tiny homes. And that's where so like once the roof's put on and and and put here, this this stage will be where uh wall insulation gets done, plumbing, electrical, things of that nature. And then we'll we're moving really quick. We'll go to the next station. The siding will get put on. So whether it's LP sheets, uh, metal, uh, LP lap siding, whatever, you know, the customer chooses, that will get put on here along with the windows and the doors and the things of that nature. And then finally, before it reaches our our final stage where the interior trim, the countertops, the kitchen, the bathrooms, all the fixtures get put on, it'll come right to this last section. And this, I believe, I'm turning into a paint booth. So, I'm not going to go too into depth, but one reason we're going to do a paint booth is we'll be able to spray these homes efficiently, get full coverage, and it be done faster, which ultimately means lower prices, bringing bringing things down for the customer. The faster we can do them, the better it is in your hands. So, we'll probably have like some sort of removable paint booth that'll come here. They'll slide out of the paint booth and basically they will turn the corner and then they will be finished in this section and potentially that section over there. So general layout, we're trying to keep everything on the perimeter and anything that has to get done for the homes, like if cabinets got to get built and assembled, that'll happen in the center of the building. We want everything to be streamlined, right? So, we want to be able to drive the forklift. The guy who's order uh putting in white cabinets, we want him to be able to grab them from the shelf, build them, put them on the forklift, and bring them to the tiny house, eliminating where's those cabinets, where's, you know, so a lot of our middle area is going to be where our pre-fabrication happens. Window jambs will get built there. Uh cabinets will get built there. sinks and uh stove for the cutouts for the countertops will get built there because you know we usually have general layouts so everything's mostly the same depending on what size you go to. So those will all be cut out and they could just get put in and ready to go right there. They could be painted. Doors can get painted there. When they're done finishing the first one in the line will get pulled out and go to our our lay down yard. So, it'll go to our lay down yard where it's ready to get either picked up or someone who's looking for an inventory model quickly on the fly can go and visit one. Hence the coffee station and all those things. It'll leave from there and a new one comes in. So, the same door we come in is the same door we go out just in a this would be technically counterclockwise motion. All right. So, that concludes our tour generally of how this layout's going to go. Like I said, and like Steve's been saying, once we get things more operational, we're going to go into depth on each zone. Um, I don't know if you can see me, but kind of in the distance behind me, that's where the layown yard will be. You can kind of see the roof of the Cortado out there through the trees. Um, so basically, they'll go out. We're going to have a nice opening put in them trees, and that's where the tiny houses will enter and exit. Same thing with this door. They'll enter and exit here and then they'll go to their stations and then when it comes in it'll be empty and when it leaves it'll be a full-blown tiny house. Like I said before, we're going to be doing a nice series on the uh stations and the the builds of how they're going to be built here at Tiny House System. So, if you're interested, you can go ahead and follow us along on that journey. We'd love to take you with us. Also, side note, if you're interested in purchasing a tiny home, having one built in our new facility, or having one that we potentially might have on the inventory lot, I'm not too sure.
