Start small...the stake out.

      Just yesterday, the day after Christmas, my dad, brother, and I went over to my granny's to stake out the footprint of my tiny house. Later I said I would start calling it my small living space in order to come off more original.
      One spot that was almost perfect would have required extra demolition including the removal of a sick tree and a large stump.  The final nix on the spot was a future issue of having to move the small living space to another piece of land, because there are too many obstacles in the way like huge trees and a fence with more trees on its other side.
      The spot I chose is directly behind granny's house but lined up with the back fence so that my front door would face the tres amigos of trees instead of her kitchen window.  It's also located near a water spikit which I'm sure will be quite useful.  Behind it's back right corner is a giant oak that is sure to produce lots of shade during summer to keep me cool.
      We could have gotten started today on the piers but the weather is on the soggy side and my brother might not be able to get the pipe he needs to get started.
      Wish us luck!
