After 9 years of talking about it and the past 12 months waiting and saving money for it, we are FINALLY getting our THOW in about 6 weeks. My husband and I are SOOOO EXCITED!!!! It all feels like a dream and not really happening. If it is a dream, please don't wake me up.
My husband and I have been married for 9 years and for our entire marriage, my husband has dreamed of living in a Tiny house... Me, not so much. My husband would bring up the topic every few months and show me all the research and ideas he has for our future house. I wasn't too interested and made him put his plans back on the shelf for another time.
My husband brought up the topic again in the first week of March of 2021. For whatever reason, I was ready to say yes this time and we jumped right in. We both got a 2nd job and found an AMAZING local builder. My husband and I have both worked 80+ hours a week, 7 days a week for the past 12 months to earn the $32,500 for our Tiny House. With our super hard work, we saved that amount in 10 months and now are working on saving money for living expenses and other expenses we will need for our THOW.
There have been 2 major delays in getting our house built. It took almost 9 months for our builder to get the axles. After he got the axles and got them on the trailer, we have been waiting for the highway patrol office to have an opening to get the trailer inspected. Our builder texted us last night that he finally was able to get an appointment for next week. Once it is inspected, our THOW will be completely built in about 4 weeks.
My husband and I are walking on cloud 9 right now!!!! After years of waiting, it is finally happening in a matter of weeks. I'm almost in happy tears just thinking about it. I'm so happy!!! I know I will just get happier and happier as the weeks and then days roll by.
What were all of your feelings when your Tiny House was just weeks away from being yours???
EDIT: Our Tiny House is on wheels and is 8&1/2 feet wide by 20 feet long. It will have a full kitchen and a full bathroom with a bedroom loft over the bathroom. I think it will be 13&1/2 feet tall on one side. It will have sky lights, solar panels, 2 types of hearing sources (one to use for above freezing temperatures and one to use for below freezing temperatures) and an AC. We are planning on the interior theme to be a mix of cottage and rustic. I will post pictures when it's all complete.
We don't have a place to park it yet. We currently live in a town house and the contract expires in July so we have until July to find a place. We have one or 2 possibilities in town but my county has A LOT of restrictions when it comes to tiny houses. We might have to look one county over.
