Tiny Home Village Potential


I think I've found a beautiful site for a Tiny Home Village. It has 183 acres, waterfront access to both a river and a private lake, and an open minded municipality that might be open to a Tiny Home Village. There is a house and 4 cottages, with potential for adding 38 more cottages, or Tiny Homes. Just under 200 km from Toronto and located in the Northern Kawarthas, this land appears to have everything I am looking for and costs only $895,000. Imagine if 10 people committed to purchasing this land together, and building a communal Tiny Home Village. Wouldn't it be a great place to retire and get old together? Let me know if you're interested!

Siding is Completed


Where oh where did the summer go? We finally got the siding completed at the end of spring. Just in time to turn our attention to our big house renovations. I visited this Tiny Home a few times over the summer, and was pleased how cool it was. The circulation blows between the back door and the screen door, make for pleasant summer breezes. Great for sleeping and just hanging out, even during heat waves.

I enjoyed being totally off the grid with no need for hydro at all. My little solar panel and power bank generated enough power to keep the lights on and my tech toys powered. I enjoyed cooking outside on a propane camp stove. I did have one harrowing experience when I lit the stove (outside) and went inside to grab the coffee. Suddenly I heard a poof sound and ran outside to see the propane making a blow torch out of the piping. Seems the old piping had dissolved and caused a leak from the propane. I turned off the stove and decided to use the indoor electrical stove top till I could get home to replace it. Ah, the dangers of propane stoves!
