The Trailer : Tiny House
Yesterday we bought a trailer! It is a 32′ gooseneck. The trailer is quite a bit longer than what we anticipated buying. It is also longer than 98% of the Tiny Homes we’ve seen on trailers. But with a family of three, I’m looking forward to the extra space. Check out the pics below. Also, I didn’t know where to mention this, but the Building Trades Instructor at the Tech...
The Pre-Trailer Floor Plan : Tiny House

My first Beekeeping Class : Projects
I went to my first beekeeping class last night! It was great! There were a bunch of people there interested in learning how to keep bees.

They had nice anecdotes and answered...

Canning : Projects
Inspired by the book I was reading, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, I decided that it would be fun to give canning a go. I didn’t know how to can or how to pickle… but I was determined to figure it out. Abby and I went to the farmer’s market to pick out a bunch of fresh veg from local farms. We got some cucumbers and peppers...
