So.

I’ve finished putting together the rough quotes for the construction of the tiny house, and have heard back with final quotes on a few things.

hey i meant to follow up on this when i found it in my archives while looking for something else.

i made the right choice. i agonized over this, went ahead with it, felt weird and uncertain about it, and since then the price of plywood has doubled again.

so, i made the right choice. good to revisit a thing like this once in a while.

is the construction done? no. am i living in it anyway? yes. is it everything i dreamed of? well it didn’t fix all my problems but it fixed a bunch of them yes. do i have regrets? no.

so, sometimes making the decision does pay off, so there. (Your picture was not posted)
