Yeh, but...

What's it actually look like??

An Inside View

So, Judy said she was going to was going to clean her house before our joint Open Houses (most of her relatives had not yet visited her new home and I thought some of the neighbors who had put up with my noticeable presence in the cul-de-sac these past eight weeks might appreciate a peek) yesterday!  Then I thought I'd better clean mine some and realized this could be my best opportunity (while clean AND un-packed) for taking photos for the 'board' down at Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses in Durango where I head - hopefully, with Maryjane on board - this coming Friday for some finishing, finishing, Finishing touches....
If you haven't yet visited - or not when I've been 'permanently' parked - here you go!!

the living-room overlooks the kitchen with the loft/guest room across the way (and the dark zone is the bathroom so one's gets four out of five rooms in just one shot!)....


ruth's rice china is pretty happy here!


just inside the front door = coat rack/shoe shelf/loft stairs/table & stool/storage boxes!



living-room: couch = 3rd bed (for LOTS of guests)!
jeramy did amazing work making the desk (off right end of couch) turn out as I envisioned!


    bathroom - mom's old 'Southern Belle' painting - now on back - as mirror, sink stand built of round table (see living-room) legs....


a 'full-sized' shower for full-sized people.
Nature's Head: the only 'scary' part as it can require scatalogically correct conversation. yikes!


need to rest up from that challenging conversation?  the bed is three steps away. if you draw it out.

SIZE MATTERS!



Here we are again with that age old question:
DOES SIZE MATTER??
When 'they' tell you, "It doesn't matter..." - be skeptical!

1.  It does matter which side of your shed roofed house is the high side (as tree, bridges and other overhead obstacles tend to be much lower on the 'passenger' side which, as you may have guessed, is the high side on my house)....

2.  It does matter which side of your bathroom the window is on (if you plan to have a composting toilet and don't want to smell the natural processes whenever it's humid out or the wind blows in just the right direction)....

3.  It does matter if the overhead lights in your low - and very low - ceiling rooms have knobs on them.  If you don't want to scalp your guests, that is!

So.  When you want to comfort some poor fella (or customer) by saying, "Size doesn't matter!", PLEASE ANSWER RESPONSIBLY and instead say something along the lines of,
"It might make a difference..."

Eugene, OR: 37 days and counting!

this has been our longest stop by far... already over three times that of our runners up - lyons valley and the big sandy!

as you may already know, it (eugene) is very:

  • Bike friendly
  • Cooperative minded

















  • Foodie




  • Gluten Free amenable


  • Homeless tolerant (i'm not the only one in mobile housing!)
  • Hot and humid (in the summer, anyway...)
  • Scenic
