Here it begins, the journey.
I’ll start with the end first. The journey will go in this direction.
The Goal
- A tiny home about 140 square feet in size, which contains
- Working Kitchen (Stove, Sink, Oven)
- Bathroom with sink, flush toilet and shower
- Bedroom
- A/C can will run nearly 24/7 during the summer
- Some kind of living area suitable for watching videos, playing video games, reading or meditating
- A tool shed/workshop (7’x12′)
- A chicken coop + chickens (for eggs)
- A vegetable garden (for producing edible tomatoes, herbs, and other veggies)
- A deck with a gazebo
- The whole thing powered by solar,
- Excess power stored in batteries (for nighttime, during overcast days, etc)
- Enough capacity to power the house
- Enough capacity to charge an electric vehicle in a reasonable amount of time.
That’s the current goal. Let’s see what we can do.
