We are Mr. and Mrs. Epic, and this is our EPIC tiny house journey. In December 2014, we had the realization that we don’t want to be stuck in jobs we do not like, chasing dollars, wasting our lives, and not doing things we enjoy. We are starting fresh with a new life in a “tinier” home, and would love for you to come along for the ride!
Living with one of the best refrigerators can make your life so much better. Tiny house refrigerator options can range anywhere from a small “dorm” size fridge that fits underneath a counter, all the way up to a full size fridge. However, the big thing to consider when choosing one of the best refrigerators is how much food you actively want to be able …
We moved our tiny house on wheels from California to Tennessee. Roughly 2,300 miles in two and a half days. It was exciting, nerve-racking and ultimately very rewarding to move across the country with our tiny house on wheels. We spent nearly a week scouting areas that we might want to move to in Tennessee and …
We’ve lived in our tiny house for several months now, and we’ve come to realize that tiny house living is all about finding ways to make your living space work to your benefit.

If you’re anything like me, a long, hot shower is not just a luxury, it’s a NECESSITY. That’s why when it came time to choose a water heater, I carefully considered all of my options. When looking for the right water heater, here are a few questions you may want to ask yourself: Do I want …
Mrs. Epic and I have been officially living in the Epic Tiny House for nearly 10 months! We’ve been paying close attention to our monthly living expenses, and we thought you may be interested to see what it costs to actually LIVE in a tiny house! Before we dive into the expenses, keep in mind …
In the words of our beloved Lord Stark of Winterfell, “Winter is coming.” Since moving from sunny California to Tennessee, we’ve had to adapt to the colder weather with some winter prep for our tiny house. This is critical if you live in an area where it regularly gets to below freezing temperatures. Here’s what we …
An important question all “tiny housers” must consider: Where will our waste water go? Truthfully, I don’t like to even call it waste water. Waste typically refers to something that can’t be recycled, restored, or reused. This doesn’t have to be the case with gray water. Depending on the system set up and the substances …
Tiny house cost of living is one of the biggest draws to doing this crazy tiny house thing. While Mrs. Epic and I were considering a tiny house at first, my biggest concern was something to the effect of, “What is the break even point of building and living in our tiny house compared to continuing …
The other day, I was scrolling through a notebook that I’ve been using for my to-do lists. I scrolled back a few extra pages and saw a doodle of our house design. This house layout ended up being very similar to how our house turned out, which is crazy thinking that we had that vision one year …
