I decided to take on a rather large project in the backyard – to build a 450 sq. ft. tiny house in the back yard.  Why not, right?

I’ve gone back and forth about what to do with the large space and I’ve grown quite tired of all the mowing – and with the pool I thought it might be cool to create an indoor/outdoor space with a large resale value.  The possibility of renting this out on AirBnB or even a long term rental has crossed my mind after the project is complete.

My plans over the next few months is to begin working on this bad boy and provide ongoing updates on the blog. I’ve fallen behind on making that monthly post goal – so with updates on the building, hopefully I’ll be motivated to also post of the progress.

I’m working with the good folks over at Kanga Room Systems to finish up the plans and start the permitting process before all the real work begins.

Here is a look at the floor plan that I’ve decided to go with.

Let the fun begin!
