It has been along time coming, but it seems like we might be making headway with out tiny house project. I have been slowly procuring a list of items and saving money for the trailer and framing materials. I took a job 3rd shift, night work, to save money for the tiny house, but the stresses of life after dark and multiple weeks of 12 hour shifts six days a week, have taken their toll. I decided to leave the employment to much relief from my husband. I now have time to look for weekly daytime employment and actually see my husband when he is not asleep.
I have extra time now to do lots of things. One of which is guest writing for tinyhomes.com website. All the writers are at different places in their tiny house journeys. There is a fresh blog to enjoy everyday and there is even a tiny homes app for smart phones.
As for us, we have found a lot of items to fill our garage to the brim. Our current house is slowly getting cleared out. I am trying to decide to either post furniture on craigslist or have a large garage sale. Newly added to filled garage is cedar wall panels, 5 wood windows, a large butcher block countertop, some Ikea hardware, and some copper sheeting. Since not everything fits, currently there is a sink in my living room.
Craigslist has been wonderful for finding items for cheap, however I check the prices to local stores to make sure I'm getting the best deal. I have also been reminding myself not to spend money on home decor before I have a tiny home to decorate. It's better to have walls than a picture to put on them.
