The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week!

So, I know some of y'all following us are wondering what the heck is going on.  I posted about the house being delivered and then never said anything else.  We are super excited about our house being delivered!  Work has been very slow though.   Sometimes life just gets in the way.  I think God has to do big things to get my attention and tell me that it's in his time, not mine.  The pictures you see are of the house after it was delivered and after we raised it up 18 inches to be able to run the plumbing.   The other picture is part of the reason for our delay.  We lost our truck that we purchased 5 months ago.  Luckily it waited to catch fire till after I got out of it.  And also a picture of our (new to me) tahoe.  We have decided we are a forever Chevy family ;)  We are in the process this week of moving everything out of our current home, which is turning into a huge task.  You don't realize how much crap you have that you don't need, haven't used, or don't even remember buying, until you have to move it.  I can't wait to live simply in our tiny home!  #thepurge

Biting our nails.......

The day has come!  The shell of our tiny home will be delivered tomorrow!   So, we had to go prep the land for the delivery guys.  Richard and I are both sad we have to work while it is being delivered.   But it will be a nice surprise tomorrow afternoon.   Stay tuned more to come....................

Slowly, but surely

We are slowly coming along.   We have cleared off the land (pics to come soon).  We are now in the process of working on the water and electricity.   I can't wait to have the building there already! This is my guys working on what is soon to be my floor!!!!!  ♡

Calling all unused toilets!!

We have purchased our land and are working on clearing it out.  Our house should be moved soon, hopefully.   We are asking for all the help we can get.  If you know of any toilets, sinks, cabinets, showers, lumber, flooring,  sheetrock, plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, etc. that someone wants to give away or sell.  Please, please let us know.  Our goal is to build this home as cheap as possible.   We know everyone is really interested in this new adventure we are taking, and we are inviting you to be involved.  

Less is more.........right?

This is the beginning of our new journey.  This is our new house.  What?????  Yes our new house!!!  We have made the decision as a family of 5, to down size.  I am excited and petrified at the same time.  We are going from 2000 sq.ft. to less that 400 sq ft.  Adjustments are going to be massive!  Everything about our lives is going to change.  From the way I grocery shop, to the way we get along.   I am super stoked about how much money I am going to be saving!  There are so many decisions and ideas into planning for this.  It is ALL about storage space!!  Can I say that again?   S-T-O-R-A-G-E!!!!!!  I watched some documentaries about making this lifestyle change,  and everyone is extremely happy, and given the choice, want to stay in tiny houses.  I plan on documenting everything about this adventure.  I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our huge journey to our tiny home.
