beautiful writing! and indeed, where your family is, is the best place home you can ever get.
i lived as well in campers, but here where we are is never below 0, so i am not that hardcore.
living off grid for some years, now i am thinking as well in getting a job and paying a rent and having a NICE house with hot shower, electricity (so i can steem it) and so on! keep in touch!
congratulations for your kid :)
Thank you. It is really beautiful here on our new property.
In the tiny house we did have hot and cold running water, heat, cooking and enough power for our needs. It took time to get these comforts and a lot of work but to me it was worth it all.
do you have solar? if so, is it enough for the winter?
this has always been an issue over here... limited electricity in the rainy long days :)
My electronics lab and off grid wood shop are good. I have over 800 watts of solar panels charging batteries. I can run anything I want out there.
The house has only 600 watts of solar panels until I get my leg healed up. Stretched the ligaments.
Then I will have 800 - 1000 watts of solar panels going to a battery bank to an inverter and then the house.
We only use 2 KW per day on the power meter right now so it will be good to get those extra panels hooked up.
I hope to use battery backup, portable rechargeable devices and rechargeable LED lights inside the tiny house during the evenings to reduce power use.
