Oh Come On YOU Are Building A Tiny Home?

I am getting this over and over. Or It's a series of questions about my ability to put together a blueprint, or count how many boards and screws I am going to need.

Then there is the style. This one always makes me laugh. What makes you think you can design a house?

I'm an artist. If I foul up I will do it over. I'm a cook, I can read a recipe. Directions are the same thing. I love youtube videos on how to do....whatever.

I'm a smart person. I have access to the internet. I know how to type in blueprints, tiny houses, gleaning, craigslist, free, roofing materials for cold weather, poop control, water, hot water, cold water, passive systems. Heating with straw, cooling with cardboard. Making a bio-fuel out of pig poop, that article was interesting.

I've typed in Disney's rock recipes for their landscape builds, solar, solar lights, stoves, plumbing for rv-style bathrooms, composting toilets, I have even read about methane gas for cooking. I hear that can be quite a booming adventure.

Homesteading. downsizing, packaging, air-conditioning out of cardboard. You name it I have done some investigation. Secret doors, pit-setting a house, Gazebo conversions.

In short just because I might not have know how to design a Huge Tiny House when I decided to do so. It does not mean that I don't know now.

Start with square footage how much can you live without? Everything else is decking. With 20 acres why would I waste time indoors?

Once you decide that make a bunch of drawings.
