The foundation.

The foundation of my tiny house will be a flat trailer. My brother has volunteered to help weld it together. I have to figure out how much weight it needs to be able to hold. I will probably barter with him before I pay him.)

The least expensive a tiny house has cost was $15,000 and the most expensive was $50,000. I'd like to keep it as far down as possible and one way was to build my own trailer.

Because I love setting goals that are terribly time framed (like this pottery I'm going to have for consignment downtown, I told him I'd have the stuff in a month, though it'll probably be quicker) I'll say that I'll start building at the end of the year.  That's when I had hoped to have had my loans paid off but work was crap so I didn't make as much as I should've.

Later on I'll wear a shirt that says, "ask me about my tiny house"...Haha!
