TINY LIVING â—½ HOME
Fall is here! So the calendar says. But in Texas I’m not exactly sure the weather follows the “calendar.” It’s just that whenever it’s not over 100 degrees, we Texans say fall is here! It does seem like we don’t have to run the air-conditioner 24/7 in the trailer, so that’s a plus. Hopefully, that will help some with our pretty large electric bills we had this summer. Though our bill was never over $200, I hear people with “normal homes” have electric bills that have been over $500! So I’ll count my blessings…
​
The new house building is moving along, so one day I’ll get to have one of those payments that I’ll try not to complain about because… I’ll be in our home!
​
Now for an update on the “larger house.” It’s moving along pretty quickly!
The rain has caused some delays, but we are so thankful for the rain, as the lake has come up quite a bit from all the downfall! The roof is on and dry wall will be completed this week. The cabinets are being built and all the finishing touches have mostly been picked out.
​
This has all occurred just in time, as Brian has started back to traveling for work. My biggest worry has been that I would have to make some major decision while he was away traveling and I didn’t want to make a bad choice! But all the major decisions have been taken care of, and I’m praying it’s smooth sailing from here!
​
We still have to work on the yard, which feels like a never ending task, but it is looking better. And we’ll get there, with nothing but time. And we’ve been loving this slightly cooler weather to work in!
​
We had a total of five boys over here to spend the night not too long ago. They could have all stayed outside or in the new house in hammocks, or just in some sleeping bags on the ground, However, they all chose to stay in the trailer. It was complete chaos! But it made my heart happy that almost 18-year olds were having a great time in such a tiny space. I find it funny that our tiny home has been the hangout spot for such large children but I’ll take it!
​
When we move in our new home, I’m sure we’ll look back on these times and remember how fun everyone had in this tiny home.
