Several of my wonderful Nepali friends drove all the way from Northern Cincinnati to see my tiny house. Here are S, T and me when we arrived.
Here are B, T, S, and D, lined up against their car, which B was happy to have been allowed to drive on the road trip. D had a lot of questions about building the house, and they all enjoyed seeing it, but I think the teenagers were secretly more excited about the long car trip on the highway across Cincinnati and down into Kentucky!
In this view, looking aft, may be seen two of my folding screens, which have been coming in handy for mocking up possible dividing walls. One in the foreground delineates the space on the port side for the kitchen area, under the only window on the port side, which here provides the light brightening the folding screen. The other allowed me to play around with squeezing in a skinny closet space to one side of the window seat.
Looking forward from the windowseat, a heavier duty folding screen may be seen mocking up the space for the loo, about 19" x 48" of floor space just forward of the entry door.
An event hosted by Brad Cooper and the People's Liberty Foundation was only a few days after the visit by my Nepali friends. Unfortunately I have no photographs from the "Size Matters" exhibit of cardboard "house" floorplans Brad and his colleagues constructed to demonstrate various small house sizes, but am proud to say I won a prize in Brad's raffle contest by guessing well at their square footages. (Naturally I could do this only by mentally laying out footprints and partial footprints of my own house.) This gave a friend and me a great meal at the nearby Firehouse Pizza immediately following the event.
Delicious pizza from a wood-fired pizza oven...
...and lo and behold! The discovery that the pizza business began as a "tiny pizzeria on wheels!" So another connection, based on my adventurous journey to build my tiny house. Fun!

Thank you for commenting on my blog. I think this message is for anyone who comments, to let you know, in my case, that there is no knowing when, if, or how I may respond directly to your message!! To quote a famous wizard; "I can't come back! I don't know how it works!" And a famous poet, "We walk backwards into the future." Anyway, I have a feeling this thing is going to grow on me, so we'll be in touch, eventually. Thank you again.
