Home Is Where The Dog Lives

We have been together since he was a small puppy he’s always been around the house. I raised him, feed him, nursed him through sickness, played for endless hours, and traveled with him. He is a well-mannered, beautifully behaved dog devoted and willing to do anything I ask of him. I am proud of him, in all aspects I think of him as my personal gift from God. He has done nothing but give me his endless love and devotion for years.

Even though I am particular about keeping my house clean, when you walk into my new home, be careful not to trip on a stick, a ball, or even a bone. These are my dog's treasures and I will not take them away from him. He knows where all his toys are. They may not look like much, but to him, they are worth more than gold.

I will always have a open door to my house and hope that it's a place that people will be comfortable in, but for those people that think that dogs are dirty and smelly, you will not be comfortable in my house. I will not lock my dog away when people come to visit, for he is well mannered, the most he might do is expect a pat on the head.

UNO likes his new home, and for me Home is where the dog is.

Tidy, Tight, Thoughtful

When designing a tiny home a lot of extra thought has to go into the design and placement of the MP&E's (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing). There are a limited amount of producers that make elements for a small home, and the items that exist tend to be over-priced, so I've had to develop detailed schematics for the careful placement of items that were designed for houses much larger than mine. The one exception I've made is the heater, I spent the cash and got a super efficient small heater to keep me warm on cold winter nights. On the surface this seems like a simple issue of planning, but remember that developers and engineers around the world spend billions of dollars on squeezing technology into tiny little boxes. I've had to think about the value of each item, and make choices on is function. I keep in mind my belief that "excess is immoral" and is the particular piece of technology worth having, or do I have to expend too much effort and resources to keep that technology; It is surprising how easy it is to live without something you really don't need.
