I started my fundraising effort last week and y'all have already helped me reach $1,200 of my $8,000 goal.<br /><br />That's a whole 15%!<br />
<br />
I always hear people talking about how they've lost their faith in humanity, but I see something totally different. I told you what my dream was, about how achieving this goal would transform my life, and you came running to help me out.<br /><br />One step at a time we can make the world a brighter place!<br /><br />Stay awesome!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09056691880375838472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159512343854083820.post-17250287476334435292014-03-28T00:31:00.000-07:002014-03-28T00:31:17.217-07:00And in the beginning there was a PeterWell, I have finally decided that wasting money on rent every month is a bit of a drag and that a monthly mortgage payments sounds even more horrible. So I have decided to build a tiny home within the next year.<br />
<br />
First, as a quick overview. I'm looking to build a tiny home of around 200 sq. ft. for under $8,000. I will be chipping in most of the money myself but I have also set up a fundly account that is accepting donations (<a href="https://fundly.com/peter-and-the-tiny-house#">https://fundly.com/peter-and-the-tiny-house#</a>).<br /><br />Secondly, I will also be actively seeking corporate sponsorship and discounts on the materials I need.<br />
<br />
Third, I will be using green techniques in my house that will seek to help the environment, and reduce my costs. I will be making my own insulation (so start saving your newspaper), I'll be using as much reclaimed wood as possible, and I will recycle any other usable parts I come across.<br />
<br />
Fourth, the to big things I need off the bat are a place in Baton Rouge to build and a 20 - 24 foot long trailer. If you have one of these I will love you forever!<br /><br />Fifth, I want to hear your feedback. If you hear of a cool new idea that I could incorporate into my home as I build it from scratch, let me know, it may just show up!<br />
