A Work In Progress: Update No. 6

-
Finally, after two months of being away from our build, we started our cross-country road trip to Oregon and stopped at Mustard Seed Tiny Homes near Atlanta to check on the progress.  With less than two weeks left before our home ships out, we were really excited to see all of the updates that have been made first-hand.

Upon first impression, everything just looked clean and full.  That is a strange way to phrase a construction project, but there were no longer any exposed wires or beams.  With our couch being built and the bulk of the cabinet work being complete, all of our floor space that would be occupied was already filled, giving us a very real feeling of what the living space would actually feel like.

Since our last update, the cabinet framework had all been installed, including our super-spacious, mattress-lifting, under-bed storage.  In addition to the cabinets, our metal railing, outdoor lighting, ceiling fan, and shower fixtures have all been installed.  Seeing these finishing touches has been super inspirational in seeing our ultimate vision come to fruition.

All that is left to be done before our home ships out is the installation of the countertops, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and the chandelier.  We are hoping to get our home out to Bend by March 1st, so stay tuned!


We could not be more proud!

5 Tips to Prepare Your Tiny Home for Winter

Just like that, we have gone from colorful leaves and cool nights full blast into winter.  Over the past two days, almost a foot of snow has fallen in Bend!  It seems like the last day it snowed this much was the day we moved in, back in March.  Back then, the snow and the cold temps brought to our attention to exactly how much us Floridians did not know about winter living as Tiny Home owners and how unprepared we were.  Looking back at our first couple of weeks in the house is quite comical now, but it was no joke at the time.  This post is intended to be educational in sharing our most valuable winter prep practices and products with you. Water for a Tiny Home in the winter is kind of like a credit card.  If you keep it liquid, you are golden, but as soon as it freezes, it is a royal pain in the butt to resolve.  To be 100% honest, we did not even know heated hoses existed before moving into our Tiny Home.  We were truly starting from square one.  After getting our water connected

Looking Back: 6 Months of Living Tiny

Just like that, six months have absolutely flown by and all of a sudden we couldn't imagine living anywhere else except our Tiny House.  Over this course of time, there have been a comical amount of obstacles, yet somehow Adventure Abode truly became our home.  We have not posted to our blog nearly as frequently as we would like to, so we will use this post to share what it has been like adjusting to the Tiny lifestyle. Our new outdoor setup in our new parking space at The Camp Bend We have shared a bit about our struggles upon first moving to Bend in the middle of winter, having never slept a night in our home prior.  Our seemingly insurmountable list of issues included leaking water and gas pipes, a frozen water heater, water-logged countertops, and plenty of other minor issues which required repairs and attention.  As a result, I became pretty capable of fixing things, acquired a couple more tools, and got the opportunity to learn how our house works inside and out.  Alth
