  • Winter is Coming

    I have finally resigned myself to the reality that we are going to be spending another winter in the tiny house. I was in denial for a little while. A few weeks. Months. Basically this entire year. But I’ve accepted it now, and we are facing the ever-present problem of how to heat our little…
