Hello All, Our family has a few things to share. Those of you at the December Tiny House Chat know this already, but I thought we should share with everyone else. The first one is that we are expanding. In fact, by next month, we should have a brand new member of the family. A [...]

We did this interior painting in September. We did a white wash look on a few walls and a full white for most walls.   Abby and I came up with a great idea to add a unique quality to our living room area. We stenciled a quote on the wall. “Live Simple. Dream Big.” [...]

Here are the pictures from the move we did about a month ago. Chris Kleman graciously helped us get the truck in working order and then helped hook the house up to it. The truck pulled it quite well. It was my first time driving anything with a trailer… and it is one heck of [...]

Well, we finally got some time to work on the house this weekend… a few hours. So, Abby and I decided to get started on the siding. We installed Vinyl for about two hours. My camera wasn’t acting proper, but I got a few progress shots I was able to compile into a gif: We [...]

Well, the building trades students are officially done working on the house. They did an excellent job and I’m forever grateful for the help everyone was able to give. It probably would have taken us all summer to do what they did in 6 weeks. A lot of the students mentioned that it feels good [...]
