The Hardest Part of Our Tiny Home Build So Far
For nearly a year, we've been slowly transforming our property into a place we can finally call home.
In this episode of Building a Life on Land and Sea, I take you inside the tiny homes for the first time and show the progress that's been happening behind the scenes. The biggest challenge? Getting running water into the units.
What sounded simple turned into weeks of digging, moving massive boulders, battling groundwater, and pumping out a trench that seemed determined to stay full. Living on a watershed definitely added a few surprises along the way.
As I worked through each obstacle, I found myself relying on lessons learned during years of living aboard sailboats. Boat life taught me how to troubleshoot, adapt, and keep moving forward when plans fall apart. Those same skills are proving just as valuable here on land.
Join me as I share the progress, setbacks, and victories of building a life that combines the best of both worlds—land and sea.
