Sitting on the bed watching the tennis yesterday I was inspired to comment to K about how comfortable we are in our tiny house. We are parked on the farm without town electricity, gas connection or running water. We were sitting on the bed, with a coffee from our coffee machine, home made bread sandwiches on a plate. The fan was going, dinner was ready to heat up later. Our setup works just about anywhere. However we are really grateful to our daughter and son-in-law for allowing us to set up here in the summer.
Like most people we had worked most of our lives to keep a roof over our heads and provide for our children while they were our responsibility. A joy most of the time. But now we are kid less and able to do what we want together. I guess I had envisaged a cottage by the sea, or a town house somewhere with amenities, new furniture at last. But here we are in a 20 foot long box......
Our box has gas bottles for heating, cooking and the fridge. It has battery power charged by solar panels or the generator, for lights, fan, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine and camp fridges. We can watch TV, listen to music, wash clothes, shower and cook.
Our tiny space has all the things two people need. We can even cram in visitors for a meal, even if someone has to sit on the bed if outside is too hot or cold.
And there are blackberries ripening in the bushes outside.

Three cheers for the box...and what a box it is. You and K do it with style and deftness.
ReplyDeleteIt has taken time but we are quite proficient in our space. And as yet don't have any need for the space to be bigger. So far so good
