READ NEW HOUSE BUILDING UPDATES:
http://blog.neevita.net/archives/tag/living-small
Currently, I am in the saving/design stage of the project, so there isn’t too much activity. The latest big announcement is that I’ve found a place to build in Seattle — however, financial setbacks mean that I won’t be taking advantage of this for some time.
I occasionally add posts about my progress (and said setbacks) to the blog under the tag “Living Small“. If you’re looking for more Tiny House inspiration, are curious how one prepares to live in such a tiny space, or just wanna see some accountability towards the project, check it out!
