I'm starting a list of tools/materials/techniques other tiny house builders have used. some of it I've never heard of! probably NoBigDeal.
impact wrench $329 "ideal for driving and removing fasteners in wood, metal or concrete" (worthwhile investment)
miter saw $599 "powers through dimensional lumber and molding at angles up to 50 degrees left and 60 degrees right for versatility."
aluminum flashing
staple gun (to attach flashing to the trailer bed)
table saw $499 but varies a lot (for cutting plywood)
belt sander $70 for sanding the rough jigsawed sink corners in butcher block countertops
circular saw for cutting out undermount sink
jigsaw for cutting rounded corners in sink hole

step 3: build subfloor using miter saw and 2x4's or 2x6's.
step 4: use impact wrench to attach subfloor joists to the frame then bolt onto the flashed trailer bed.
p.s. I'm very interested in understanding what happens at that wheel bed area. do the walls go around it? or is it just boxed out and undiscernable from above?

step 5: insert insulation between joists (here they used sheep's wool loose insulation, which is apparently a big pain and messy too. they might make it in batt insulation now which is supposed to be better as it's like a big sheet of it.)
step 6: put plywood on top (which is called the subfloor)
