Why start blogging about it now? Well, yes, I suppose we are doing this backwards, as most people dedicate their blog to the experience of building their tiny house. We tried to blog while building, sharing as we progressed in early/mid 2015, but we became overwhelmed with it all, so we nixed it until now.

Yes, our tiny house is “done” on the inside and out… and it is pretty dang cool. Sure, there are little tweaks we’re going to adjust and change as we live in it, such as adding window trim, some additional storage shelves in the secondary loft, making some cat walk options for Bucket (our cat), getting a couch, etc. But we’re in it and everything works! Plumbing, electrical, propane, the stairs, on and on.

We moved all our remaining possessions into our tiny house over the past few weeks. While it’s chaotic as we’re finding places for some things and donating others, it is very refreshing to know that it is our space, and it’s still quite roomy! Moving into a tiny house is not pretty, but it’s the same whirlwind that comes with moving into bigger homes, too. It simply just takes time to get things into their living place and figure out what things are in need of downsizing.

We’ll be giving a full inside tour of the house as well as sharing specific topics about the features we built in, including our tankless water heater, our tiny fridge, propane stove options, and much more. Stay tuned!

Founder & Editor

I write about the things I actually spend my time on: home projects that never go as planned, food worth traveling for, and figuring out which plants will survive my Northern California garden. When I'm not writing, I'm probably on a paddle board (I race competitively), exploring a new city for the food scene, or reminding people that I've raced both camels and ostriches and won both. All true. MK Library is where I share what I've learned the hard way, from real costs and real mistakes to the occasional thing that actually worked on the first try. Full Bio.

If you buy something from a MK Library link, I may earn a commission.
