Bound to go… tiny AGAIN…

Well, I have sold my big city house and purchased a 900 square foot one closer to the centre of Hamilton. I am getting settled in here now and have caught up on my writing. I started painting again and, I am planning a trip to visit my tiny house for a week. Not sure how the tiny house will be in December with no heat. I did get a small propane heater which you light outside and then bring in. It seems to stink but it is the best that I can do for the time being. Also I have about 30 candles there. It seems silly, but I expect that multiple candles will actually keep it warm once the propane heater brings the temp up to normal, two candles worked on cold evenings last fall. I will know more after my visit.

I am not yet unpacked in my small city house, and this morning my husband says, “can I make you a cup of tea? Interesting call this morning, it seems that I will be offered a job in Germany, not until 2014 though. How do you feel about a move?. Well… the small house here in Hamilton is the 32nd home I have been in. I say, will your brother build us a tiny house in Germany? I am keeping my tiny house here, so that I can visit and come back if I want.

Yodelaheeeewhooooo! Who does not love Munich? I certainly do!

6 Little Corners

Here is my little slice of land outlined in white.  I am planning on a tiny house at the edge of the land just where it begins to expand.  This will make the little structure about 600 feet from the road frontage and back far enough in the woods that I have some privacy.  In Ontario one can build under 108 square feet without a building permit.  I would have liked to build 300 square feet and have a little indoor bathroom but this is not allowed.  ~700 square feet is the smallest building that one can put up so if I want to build tiny I have to build without a permit.  So, 108 square feet it is!  At least my taxes will not go up!
