Learning to Live

One would think it would be difficult to live in 96 sq feet and trust me we thought so also. In reality it has been easy. We have slept wonderfully in our "cocoon" and many mornings we don't want to get out of bed. When we do though all we have to do is roll out of bed grab our clothes, get dressed and head down the ladder. No movement is necessary. Amazing how much quicker you are able to get ready in the morning. Each room has multiple functions. Our great room acts as our office, family room and blow drying room. We were so excited when we found a beveled edged mirror in the scrap pile. We put it up in our window frame-instant bathroom. I can surf the internet and blow dry my hair all at the same time!!

Obviously due to the cramped quarters there is constant maneuvering around each other. When I am sitting at the table and Roby wants to head upstairs I do have to get up and push my chair aside. It keeps us on our toes!

We did realize today while finishing some of the paneling in the "hallway" we would not be able to fit through the opening facing forward because we were going to need to add trim to the threshold. This would add another inch thereby reducing our doorway to 16" wide and requiring us to walk like an egyptian to get to the kitchen. Always have to be flexible when living in a tiny house.
