Просмотров 58314 дней назад
Hey there! We are so glad you stopped by to see what we are up to. There is a new project everyday! Joe and I are working on making the "bedroom" of the tiny house. We don't use the loft space and I am terrified of heights, so it makes sense to tear it out. But once we get it out, then what?

    Living in Northern Arizona is not for the faint at heart… The wind always blows …. If it’s not blowing, that means there’s a problem. During the winter time, the wind blows from the north bringing chilling temperatures . In the summer, the wind comes from the south bringing the warm monsoon rains. Water is always a problem unless there is a shared Private Well. Collecting water is an option for a livestock . Sometimes, during the winter time, the roads are so bad that they are not passable . This means that you will have to wear a rubber boots when you’re out feeding the livestock . Northern Arizona has some of the friendliest people who always help each other . Remember to always check for cell and Internet service . It’s beautiful, living out in a country .

Highly suggest getting some pro help navigating the design of your battery storage and controls to get maximum efficiency. Kudos to you both!
