Well, the time has come for me to stop being in denial and announce that my tiny house has sold! It left Newport Hardware on March 9th for its new home with some really great ladies up in PA. I believe eventually it'll journey up to VT to add to their off-grid set-up. The selling … Continue reading A Bittersweet Farewell
Tiny Open House
The time has come! I am delighted to announce that the house is done enough to have folks come check it out. Anyone who is willing to make the drive (short or long) can come see the house, ask questions, and enjoy some refreshments. I know it'll be a very short tour, but it'll be … Continue reading Tiny Open House

We are getting so close to finishing the house! Since my last post, we trimmed out the interior doorways, finished the quarter round on the floor, and installed shelves in the closets.

After getting back from the northern VA adventures, it was time to finish the propane lines! Finally we could test the water heater, oven/stove, and the Newport P9000. As much … Continue reading Early October Progress

Tiny House Tour
Dad and I took the house up to Manassas, VA last week. What a trip! We were interviewed by several reporters and had a blast letting everyone see it. With this media coverage came some interesting questions from commenters that I'd like to address. This might step on some toes, but here goes: My school … Continue reading Tiny House Tour
