A change of direction

Life is a funny thing - just when things seem certain, it all changes. We've spent the last few months crunching the numbers on the new house, & have concluded it doesn't really add up to a good value project. Too little house for too much money. So after weighing up our options we're now planning to build a tiny house (on a trailer - in the bottom garden), complemented by a "garden studio" on the top terrace. All of which requires no building consent, no engineers, no architect...just us & a very steep learning curve!

So, were underway again - 1st step is the "garden studio" - ie a 10m2 hut - which is an important stepping stone to the tiny house, as we know absolutely nothing about building :-)

Check out the action shots below, & a wee video clip here
