TINY HOUSE
I should purchase stock in Kleenex®️ based on the excessive drooling that’s taken place since Tiny House Nation found its way to FYI. Watching others build their tiny retreats spurred on my own dreams of one day having a tiny retreat hang off the side of a mountain.
Fast forward five years and here we are! Okay, so we’re not hanging off the side of a mountain but we do have a beautiful view of Glassy Mountain in the Carolina foothills. And while we’re not living in ours like many brave (and debt-free) souls, a lot of work will be done within the 9′ x 16′ space. My tiny house will host an 8′ desk with an expansive window facing the mountains, along with a couple of other unique features.

Tiny House Tuesday // With A Little Help From My Friend
I mean, how hard could it be to install a metal roof? We were convinced it wouldn't be that hard⏤even with a roof that points to the sky like an arrow. Brian calls it a 14/12 pitch. I call it crazy steep. Over the last several weeks, we'd framed, lifted beefy plywood via sheer willpower, and purchased more nails than groceries. Laying galvanized metal on top of twelve weeks of work felt like...
Name Your Fears For What They Are and See What Happens When You Do
I've never been a fan of anything that slithers. Having lived in the burbs for most of my life where the outdoors consisted of crumbling asphalt and the occasional stray cat, I wasn't sure what country life would bring. I know what it brought our first night⏤a...
Tiny House Tuesday // The Tarp of It All
Funny how hurricanes force you to re-think everything. We were one sheet of underlayment away from having the base of the roof covered before we left for our beach vacation. Apparently, Hurricane Florence decided to follow us home. Before we knew it, forecasters...
Welcome to the Tiny House on the Hill // Because Mustard Seed Moments Matter
I never saw it coming⏤this dream becoming a reality. Only months ago, while enjoying breakfast with dad at Panera, I shared a story from the internet of a teenager who built his own tiny house. My excitement must've been contagious because he inspired me to get...
Tiny House Tuesday // Framed Glory {& An Exciting Announcement!}
There it was in all its glory. One moment, I'm handing Brian tools and the next, I catch sight of the glorious sky framed for a private viewing. Working on the tiny house this summer has offered moments of both victory and defeat. At times, it's easy...
Tiny House Tuesday // Cut it Out!
The windows, that is. I couldn't imagine a more exciting moment on our tiny house journey than when the walls were raised. But I was wrong. Seeing "windows" punch through solid walls brought out the inner cheerleader in me (and I do mean inner!) I...
Tiny House Tuesday // The Walls We Build
The tiny house sat flat on the hill. It sat this way for a few months. We didn't want to rush the foundation and who could forget the tropical monsoons that blew through our area in May? But then came June and with it, the first wall. With one hefty...
Tiny House Tuesday // The Waiting
I stink at waiting. But I knew waiting was part of the deal when we set out to build our pocket-sized paradise on the hill. We are weekend warriors, after all. But it was the month of May that put me to the test. So, why the wait? First, God opened...
Tiny House Tuesday // The Anchor Holds
And holds, and holds...us up. At first glance, this auger (anchor) appears to be an innocent bystander with its curved staff-like silhouette⏤but don't let it fool you. Anchoring the Lil Red Writing House into the ruddy clay ground has proven to...
