"Have you found somewhere to park your Tiny House?"
Well, we have some potential sites, but as of yet, not the perfect one. So, are we being too fussy? What do we want? Back to the lists.
1. Somewhere less than half an hour away from work.
2. Back from the road a little.
3. Preferably within 100 meters of a plug point for our caravan lead.
4. A pleasant outlook.
5. Dog friendly
6. Room to park 2 cars.
7. Place for a small tool/garden shed
8. Possibly a vege garden.
That's about it - shouldn't be too hard. Many have most of those but none have all. So we will look a little longer.
"Let's do a letter drop!"
Lara, the eternal optimist, makes up piles of fliers and off we head into the rural world. She and Andrew are still looking for land to buy - Lara's theory ... If it's not advertised let's just ask!
Letter drops in urban areas are easy. Nice, brisk walk down even pathways with letterboxes in neat rows all close together.
Letter drops on rural roads are a whole different ball game -exhausting.
Now we wait to see if anyone responds.
In the meantime, the trailer for our Tiny Home has arrived.
After much deliberation, we are going with the design that has the pod.
Both the main house and the pod will be built on their own trailers. In this way, the whole setup is easy to move when Lara and Andrew find their lifestyle block. In the meantime, we will start to look for somewhere to rent.
Who says a home has to be stuck on one piece of ground?
Who knows? We could move a few times but hopefully, this will be our forever home.
Perhaps one day our home will be near the sea, but for now, it will be near our girls and our grandchildren. I think gypsies have the right idea, don’t own land, just own a home and go where life takes you.
