tiny house patio

The patio is under way on the tiny house. Outdoor entertaining space being key to large gatherings the patio is definitely a high priority. Obviously higher than putting siding on the house as you can see we have not gotten that done yet. In the spirit of creativity we used the tiller to loosen the soil and thus excavated for the patio. Still hard shovel work but much easier with the tiller loosening things up.

Farm work: tiny house

We have begun the farming part of living on a little farm in GA. We went with the ancient way of clearing our field of Winter frost killed weeds and grasses. We burned. The field is now full of nutrients left in the ashes and clear for the planting. 

kitchen shelf: tiny house

using 2x6 planed black walnut that we timbered last year we made a nice top shelf in the kitchen. Awesome idea thanks to Donnelly. 

Side note: yes, I reused this photo but it adds perspective to where the top shelf is.

tiny house farm: grafting

Experimenting with grafting. We will see if the grafts work. I am hopeful. The trimmings of some rare and old trees are grafted onto less rare young trees. I hope this works as every one that works is like saving $30+ 

tiny house: big compost bin

AN important part of off grid living is dealing with waste. All of our scraps find their way into our new compost bin. The front swings open so we can store the pile. It is made of 2x4 sweet gum lumber. All the parts of this bin are recycled or reclaimed. Total cost: 1 hour of construction time, $0.
