In brief, they are an admirable, but not perfect, company. Their superior woodworking skills are as astonishing as the two plumbing leaks that caused water to come up through our floorboards.

They help the homeless and didn't install our UV water filter correctly. They rescue and train dogs, and delayed delivery of our house for months. Backcountry Tiny Homes is a rare company in that they try, without completely succeeding, to design off-grid homes on trailers. You may hate what your child did, but you can't hate the child. If you ever had a beloved child destroy some part of your home, you will understand what our tiny house journey has been like. Yep, we've made lasting memories in our cabin - both good and bad. Solo finds plenty of places to hide and, as an indoor-only cat, enjoys sunbathing on the balcony. It's fun to cuddle up and watch movies or read a book on the cushioned window seat. Balcony dinners watching the sunset and star gazing make for a romantic evening! We have abundant room to cook indoors, and also employ the All American Sun Oven to cook outside year-round.

The bed loft is comfortable with a gable roof, shelving, two windows and a balcony overlooking Kessler Mountain. (For those wondering: No, we can't have babies, but that's irrelevant since babies and children live in apartments and tiny houses, both on and off-grid.) People worry about small spaces, but we find our cabin very spacious, similar to an apartment. There's plenty of storage in a loft and inside the bench, window seat, stairs, cabinets and shelves. The ground floor contains a bathroom, window seat, bookshelf with computer space, kitchen and a table with a bench for seating. Our 336-square-foot cabin is an abiding place for love and lasting memories. We bought an off-grid custom model from Backcountry Tiny Homes based in Washington state. Our land lease required a house with wheels, but we could still live sustainably in a tiny house. And we wanted to do it all legally - which happens to be possible. We preferred a composting toilet that didn't flush away drinking water, and a native plant graywater garden that filtered sink and shower water back into the landscape without polluting it. We wanted our electricity from renewable sources and our water from the rain. We define living off-grid as off the utility grid, meaning that we generate our own electricity and water, but continue to shop for groceries, browse the internet, use the banking system and enjoy many other accomplishments of society. Nobody has to give up Netflix or human contact to live off-grid. Our long-shot goal? To live off-grid and save land.īehold, the myriad definitions of off-grid! There is a mighty gulf between hiding out from the government with your gun and no bathroom and getting yourself some solar panels. In backwards fashion, we sold our car to reduce our carbon footprint, then started looking for land by carpooling and asking friends to join our adventure for an afternoon of sightseeing with ticks. It all started in 2011, when we created a personal project called Ripples and set out to change our life in order to help others and live sustainably. We decided to buy a tiny house because, in our unique situation, it was the best way to make a big difference for the good of the world. We want to be the ants that do the right thing as often as possible - and maybe even influence some other ants that want to do the right thing in their own way. Tiny humans have a curious ant-like cumulative strength that's often used to beat up the earth and ourselves. Instead of saving money, we hope to save the world one choice at a time - to do our small part, in as large a way as we can.

Tiny houses can be expensive, and ours cost about $63,000 plus $3,000 to build a gravel parking pad and $18,000 for necessary off-grid systems that provide water and electricity - a total of $84,000 to live in a box on a trailer and still go into debt for it. We certainly didn't make this drastic change to our lifestyle to save money. We're not in this to look cute or manipulate reality for entertainment.
Happily deprived of television for over a decade, we were not enticed by tiny house shows - although we were contacted by two of them. Our tiny house rolled into our life not because we wanted one but for much deeper reasons.
