Debt-Free Family Life in a Zero Waste, Plant Based Tiny House
Jun 03, 2021to have a little more headroom and be able to sit up in bed without hitting each other. heads on the ceiling. And I also really like how you have this landing here before the bed. Yes. We wanted an area where we couldn't get out of bed and fall down the stairs, essentially, to put an organizer (clothes or whatever) that we have stored here. And that extra length we added to the loft that gives us a little more space on the walls, for our closet, clothes, books and things we keep in here. Now that you've been living in this
house
for nine months, how are you doing?I love it. Yes, it's really good. It's really nice. Yes, I really like living here. That the
life
style I like is about having a very nice minimal footprint and the fact that we did it ourselves. We can lie in bed and think back and, yeah, what it was like to build it and... That's actually one of the key things, I think. Like being in ahouse
that you built yourself that is so comfortable, knowing that you made the right decisions in what you added to the house or what you didn't put in. Yes, it's really nice.I'm happy. Obviously, you've done all the construction work yourself, but do you have an idea of how much it actually cost to complete the project? Yeah, apart from the time and the work, like you said, it was probably, with all the equipment, like washing machine, air conditioner, toaster, all this kind of stuff, a little less than 50 thousand dollars? Hmm. It's a great result. Yes. Yes, we are very happy to develop our own small house for so much money, yes. And what do you think the future holds for you now?
As with Alba. Yes. Living in a small house, I suppose it will limit the time we can live here. But since we have that back room, she has her own space for now, and I think again... Yes, we can have our entire tin, I think, until she's about ten. And eventually she would have this house and live here. We'd move, and once you get more annoying, we can tow it further and further away...
Yeah, what an amazing start in
life
that would be, huh? Yes, part of living in a small house, building it and beingdebt

This is such a beautiful house...walking in here...it's warm...it's cozy. They have both done an exceptional job with all the finishes here and I have no doubt that this will be an amazing home for theirfamily
