A whole year yall! What a milestone – what a journey! I added a brief One Year Update overview on the "About Us" page. This is probably part one of a more reflective look at the last year.I, for one, am amazed we have made it this far given the rollercoasterness (yea, I just totally made…

Rejoice in the Lord always
The truck broke down again… likely a leak with the EGR cooler… the engine had no coolant… and the Groundhog lied about an early spring it’s supposed to sleet/snow tomorrow, followed by a day (possibly 2) of cold rain… then the generator ran out of gas while I was making breakfast in the oven…Ain’t nobody…
A Typical Day
A typical day around here is chaotic from beginning to end. Shocked? No, it’s not for the reasons you are thinking. Ok, well maybe a little bit. It is said that the trials you are going through today, God uses to prepare you for later endeavors.I’m not sure it could be truer in our case.The day…
Why are we putting our lives out like this?!
Frankly, after reading some of the comments on articles about other Tiny Housers, even I question it. Yesterday, another article - Tiny Homes hit the Big City mentioning another Tiny House Family - was on the front page of CNN! Exciting for sure - until you get to the comments.

For the house, we plan on a rather large rainwater collection system gravity fed to the various outlets. To start…
They Mean Well – Part 1 – Room for Stuff
I have been walking around the first floor deck the last week, laying out, rearranging, planning, dreaming. Getting excited about the challenge of fitting it all creatively, efficiently yet still attractively. Forgetting that this is a "tiny" house. I don't see it as a "tiny house" anymore. Simply "our home". 620 square feet for 2 adults, 6 children and a medium dog.…
Simplistic living
Much progress was made today. Thanks in great part to brother-in-laws. The beginning conversation was a bit interesting - in a pulling at your heart strings "we care about you guys and want to help you, cant we contribute to a monthly rent payment so you don't have to do this crazy thing" kind of way. Hard for a…
