A cats perspective

A little while back we took Yuki for her first visit to the trailer and with that to her future living space – a part of the garden that she had not yet known – which seemed to be equally exiting for us as for her. We notice time and time again, what a valuableContinue reading “A cats perspective”

The art of waiting and what “not doing anything” really means…

Many months have passed already. Spring has come (kind of… wait, did it really?) and later on we had a little bit of summer warmth and in the meantime autumn has arrived with colorful trees and it’s signature golden sunlight. It still is a challenging year. Not only weather wise of course… But boy, didContinue reading “The art of waiting and what “not doing anything” really means…”

A strong foundation… or: how many words are there for snow?

Over a month has passed since our last post. It was a time for rest and patience. A new big load of snow got in the way of continuing. So our trailer got to spend many days on his own in the back of the garden but his presence was never forgotten and fires weContinue reading “A strong foundation… or: how many words are there for snow?”

Downsizing Part 1

Currently we are being snowed in here in the Jura; we spend time looking for building material (a good fire oven to keep us warm in winter will be a key product to find!) and taking hikes in the snow. So, I thought, I take this time to write about downsizing. As I already wroteContinue reading “Downsizing Part 1”

Those who can not yet build walls, build fireplaces…

After our trailer has arrived together with a lot of snow, it seemed as if we had to let all the excitement settle. So we had some quiet days of visiting the trailer regularly, sitting on it and talking about the next steps in this big project. It is interesting – we waited so longinglyContinue reading “Those who can not yet build walls, build fireplaces…”

One day in the city

As the end of this intense and overwhelming year approaches, we would like to take time, to “officially” say Goodbye to the city, where we lived before packing up our stuff and moving to the countryside and a new life. We love all the wonderful new experiences we make here; like enjoying a sunset overContinue reading “One day in the city”

Permits, transports and other big adventures…

As promised we want to take this opportunity to put our experiences and thoughts about some interesting challenges in our project on the paper – so to speak 🙂 A lot has happened, so this is a longer entry in our blog with some technical informations (that I am not yet that good in writingContinue reading “Permits, transports and other big adventures…”

A “new life”…

It has now been already several months since we moved to our new home. And whereas the location of the home itself is the actual one, the house we live in isn’t, as our whole process of obtaining permits as well as material and building was interrupted by a global pandemic. Our Tiny House wasContinue reading “A “new life”…”

Don’t forget your plans in challenging times…

By now there is basically almost only one subject that concerns the world; and that is the Corona Virus. It has life all over the planet quite firmly in it’s grip. Also us here. I have been -like a lot of people- since almost two months cooped up at home. Trying myself at homeoffice, bakingContinue reading “Don’t forget your plans in challenging times…”

Time to move on

“It’s time to move on, time to get goingWhat lies ahead, I have no way of knowingBut under my feet, baby, grass is growingIt’s time to move on, it’s time to get going.” That’s what Tom Petty is singing. It was always one of my travel jams because of those few lines. And it somehowContinue reading “Time to move on”
