One question a lot of people have been asking recently centers around tiny houses and families. Andrea sent me a detailed description of the cabin, the work completed so far, and the process of moving it to its present location.
We spent months drawing, sketching and bookmarking pictures we liked; he had tons of great design ideas. Then by luck we found this garden shed on kijiji.
Nothing was done on the inside at all. This is where we live. Since buying it in January, I have prepared the gravel and block pad, knocked out the wall between the rooms, insulated it, wired it not hooked up yet , put in a stand-up shower, hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets, another window, rain gutters, and french doors.
There is a propane stove and fridge. The toilet is outside, just a good old luggable loo that will come inside it the fall. The stand-up shower is fed from a battery operated pump outside in a rain barrel. There is a bookshelf that closes in the one wall of the bathroom and a pocket door on the other. We are about to rebuild a flip down bunk attached to the wall so the dog can sleep under him as it has been too dirty with the dog on his bed.
My bunk is in the main room, a double bed with plastic containers for my clothes under the edges of the rafters. Fire wood… who knew it took so much time to get campfire wood? The birdhouse is only square feet and far from finished. I still need to fasten down counter top and place a sink inside. Two more windows are planned and the doors will likely only last the season as I had to cut them down so much their strength is too compromised. I plan to rebuild the bookcase to meet our needs better and hook up solar when we get some cash.
