We woke up this morning to rain! It is raining and storming! Our house should have been here August 27th but the delivery dude had truck trouble... it was moved to Thursday and then Friday and now September 3rd! Everyone keep your fingers crossed!!! This has been the hardest thing... waiting. We have been ready since last week and we are in a bit of a stand still waiting for the building. Once it arrives, we have the deck to finish on it, plumbing, electrical, insulation, etc.

We are overwhelmed by the positive feedback and the kindness that you guys have shown us! We really appreciate all the support and good vibes! We have the wonderful folks at TinyHouseBuild.com that featured our story. If you haven't checked out their website... I ask that you do. They have a website full of GREAT information and resources. Lots of ideas, floor plans, videos, and a link to their facebook as well!

Here is a link to their website with our story:

To the wind of change

To the wind of change

It has been just a week but a lot of change has taken place! The old chicken house is gone and a load of dirty base has been laid. We have the land prepped and ready for our home.





To see the old chicken house come down was really hard. Paw Paw (Jimmie Adams) poured the concrete for the chicken house in 1977 and built the chicken house that year. This is the very spot that he held my hand out and had me catch my very first fresh egg. I remember the egg being so huge in my little ol’ hand and the warmth and wetness from the egg. It was an experience that I will never forget and thankful for memories like those. The chicken house had old barn tin for the roof which we were able to save and will use in our house. This is something that Paw Paw would love to see. :)
