The intrigue with architecture began long ago as a wee child and through the years I’ve studied how to build various types of housing structures. In 1998, my then husband and I built an Earthship in southwestern Colorado. It was a comfortable off-the-grid home that heated and cooled itself with passive and active solar along with a wind generator and rain collection. Perfect. But then health issues and divorce ensued. I moved to Oregon. Expensive Portland.
What’s a gal to do then but learn how to build a tiny home. That movement has been intriguing for many reasons. Affordable. Self-buildable. Moveable. But, where does one put it? And, where would my increasing collection of rugs from various parts of the world hang? Ambivalence and indecision halted any action on that front because I also have been enchanted by floating homes since moving here. You see, Oregon has more of them than any other state as it was a way for loggers to move down the river. For me, being a gal who grew up on the water in Michigan, a home on a giant raft seems a natural, doesn’t it?
So, what’s a gal to do?

Buy a tiny, floating home!

Now what?
