My Tiny House Dream

Will my tiny house dream become a true reality? I am not sure yet, but I am working on it that is for sure! I have found my dream shell of a home. Well that is what I call it anyway. I have found the building that I want to convert into a tiny home, it is originally a shed but considering it is 16’ X 40’ it will be roughly 200 sq. ft. smaller than my Orlando apartment. With this I could turn the RV back over to my ex and build my little dream house.

Now with that said comes the question of “Where do I put it?” My Ex’s parents have some land, and to be honest I kind of miss my family. If I were to move out to their land and do my cabin there, my daughter could be right there with her dad and still have me around. This in no way would signify my Ex and I getting back together though. He and I are best friends and always will be, the relationship boat has sailed.

Now with that said I am not apposed to the living in the middle of the country, it has its perks like the quiet and slow pace. My only con is that you have to drive an hour to get anywhere that resembles a city, again not a bad thing. The whole point of living out somewhere in a tiny home is to get the peace and quiet right?

On an even brighter note I will be able to empty out my storage locker, and retrieve everything from my grandmothers house and put them all into one place saving myself near $100.00 a month. So there is one plus to this little venture in my favor.  The fact that I would not have to pay rent is another plus, however I would probably give them the 100.00 I saved as a gesture that I am sure they would appreciate.

I have been sitting here trying to figure out just how I would build it out on the inside. I have been able to total up al the important stuff like shower, sinks, toilet, stove, fridge and the like for around $2000. This does not include drywall, insulation, electrical wiring, plugs, light fixtures, etc. and so on.  But I figure if I get all the expensive things out of the way first that leaves room to get the rest done as I can… Right?

My other option is to find some land that I could put it on, that would be an ideal to say the least.  I would love to have my own little piece of property and my own tiny house to put on it.  Time will tell what the outcome of this little idea of mine.
