Why Small House Living is Perfect for Us!

Have you ever been out driving  🚘 and got lost? So, you start taking these twists & turns to find your way back?

And sometimes, the new route turned out to be so much better than the one you were on before you got lost! 👍

Even though the twists & turns 🔀🔄🔀🔃were not part of your original plan, they turned you in a new direction that worked out well.

That is a good way to describe how we ended up with our Small House Living lifestyle. 🏡

A few years ago, we had the bad luck to be victims of identity theft.  💵💲💵 Although we were able to solve some of the problems caused by this, our credit score took a nosedive! 😡

When your credit score is in the 700-800 range, you have a lot more options.  When it drops down to the 400-500 range, not so much.

So, what are your options? 🔍🔍

We owned property where we wanted to build a small cabin, but we couldn't get a mortgage. ✂📃✂

If you are paying rent to a landlord, you can never get money saved. 💸

So, for us, our best option was to buy an Amish built shed, and convert it into a small house. We can make payments each month, like a rent. However, we are closer to paying it off with each payment. 💰

My DIY'er hubby is able to do the work, with some help from his friends.  The good craftsmanship makes the shed a solid, strong structure.  🔨🔨🔨

We are still in process of conversion, but here are a few of our photos. Just remember, it will look a little messy until we are done! Lol

Our home fits right into the lifestyle that we were looking for before the turns in the road!
