They have been siding on the path t the second ruins since ever and before we have decided to move them int the mountain side up above the Tiny House. But it was obvious now that the right place for them to be is the roof of the house.
The wood structures are not going to be used in the roof. For now, David is setting up a set of metal structures that we had bought ages ago and now we are happy to finally use them.
David spent all day working on this. First deciding what is the best position as it is important that the totality of surface gets in contact with the sun and, because we have 5 solar panels, would we put them all standing up or one of them laying down?
We had to choose between what it looks nicer and what is more efficient. Both are possible and it would be better to have all the solar panels laying down on the roof. But we definitively want to have the most power possible coming from these amazing pieces, so this is the result of today:
Dear all, here we are again!
I am just on the sofa, inside of the Tiny House!
Yes we have moved in... last week.
Can we believe it? Yes! Very much!
Here are the last videos that we recorded, few weeks before moving in:
A lot more has happened, but for now, I would like to share our experience living here.
1 week and 1/2 has gone by and we are living a dream.
Dreams come true.
Around October of 2016 we started the building of our home and going back to the first post of this blog, we started with gratitude.
And we continue in the same line.
Everytime that we turn on a light, lay down in bed, cook a meal, get dressed, move inside of the Tiny House, sit on the sofa looking at the landscape, sit on our meditation cushions to meditate, wash our dishes, look at the cats sleeping in thei step houses, everytime we open the entrance door and look outside we feel and we are grateful for this house.
For all the time that we spent designing and building it, for all the friends that helped us building it, for all the family support, for the resiliency of our souls and for the house itself.
We are in total bliss.
Even with so many things to finish yet, we are blissed out.
There is a deep knowing of being right that takes me to tears.
It is the path and the goal and both are the same.
The path is still happening and the goal, who knows what is it?!
It doesn't finish with moving in.
It's life and discovery.
It's change and transformation.
People keep saying that they don't know how we, as a couple, survived living for so many years in a BUS and then in a Caravan.
Well, nobody says it was easy, but what we know is that we look back and we laugh and we remember the challenges and what stays is gratitude - for the previous homes.
the BUS is gone as you know and the Caravan is turning into my work space.I started moving things and turning it into a beautiful workshop.
I will post pictures of it soon.
I want to acknowledge David's love and persistence during all this time so we could get to this point of the journey. Without that, without you my love, this couldn't be possible in this way. I love all that you have put in this house so far.
We would like to share more pictures from these last months and a tour of how the house is now that we moved in.But you have to wait for the next post.
For now, I am just going to listen to some music, brew a delicious tea and seat on the sofa.
Wishing you all a wonderful week and sending a big hug,
with love,
