Hi Gerry,
Are you still living in Victoria. I’m up island in Duncan. Love to see what you ahve done and where things are at for you with your abode. Can you drop me a line. Many thanks.

HI Gerry
I live in BC and would love to find out more about building a tiny house too and maybe come and see yours if possible.
Hope to talk with you soon

Oh wow! I have the pattern book for the crocheted afghan he has on his bed. What a coincidence!

I LOVE THAT WINDOW!!! Did you buy or make it custom? Beautiful house! How long did it take you to build?

I’ve been out of the loop for a while, but looking at this one. It looks pretty good. Wish I could build one now, but I’m going to be living in Germany for a while first.

Love the interior.

Hi Gerry!
You’re little house looks great! To keep your “pipes” from freezing wrap them in heat tape. I’ve lived in trailers all over Alaska from Fairbanks (at -40) to Juneau (-20 this winter!) and have never had a problem with frozen pipes. A simple 40 watt light bulb under the home and plugged into the same electrical circuit will let you know if your heat tape is on.

Have fun in your little house!

Thank you so much for sharing this, with the many interesting photos. I dream of a tiny house but it’s only a fantasy (husband wouldn’t fit!). You’ve done a good job maximizing the space, such as the rod and hooks and the magnetic strip in the kitchen. If it were me I’d build a shelf at the end of your loft so the three plastic tubs could be up off the tubs below them for quicker access.

Enjoy your delightful creation!

That looks great! Good job, Gerry! Thanks for mentioning your own lack of experience, and what a good idea it was to hire a friend with experience. I’ve been thinking of doing the same, and it’s good to hear and see how well that worked for you.
