It is -23 C outside. Too cold for building.

Its been a while since I put up a post.  

I wasn’t able to afford welding that was needed on the trailer. The estimates that came in were more than the value of the trailer. I haven’t done any work on the tiny house in months.

Last week I got interested in my house again and decided to plow forward and keep to my original plan. The build is back on.

A few days ago I ran into someone who had need of my skills and I had a need of his. He is a welder. I showed him my dilemma and he hooked up his truck and took the trailer away.

The very next day I got a call. My trailer has been welded. The rusty holes now have been eradicated and covered with 3/16″ steel. The front trailer jack is in the correct location. And soon the trailer will be back here (in a few minutes).  Soon the propane mounts will be welded on the front of the trailer.

I wish I would have built the shelter I had planned around the trailer location this summer. It will be hard to not work on the Tiny House. Winter has just started here. It will be six months before I get to do much.

I have all winter to perfect my design  and do the layout for plumbing wiring and everything else.

I thank God for putting the welder in my path.

Now in a few minutes the trailer will be back here and done.

I am excited about the prospect of building and moving into my tiny house.

As I load 500 lbs of firewood a day into my wood stove, I get a reminder as to why I am doing the build in the first place. I mean to live cleaner and simpler and off the grid. While I do that eradicate the debt I was left with after the divorce.

Have a great day and don’t give up your dreams.
