We have officially lived in our tiny house for one year as of January 2017! It honestly doesn't feel like it has been that long. We have made it through a 2 winters now and it wasn't as bad as some might think.
I haven't posted in quite awhile because we do not have internet access at our home it makes it difficult to do regular postings. The next few posts will be more like a year in review to get everyone caught up with the happenings at our abode.
My last post was June 2016 and since then we have added a greenhouse/chicken coop which worked wonderfully for the winter to keep the chickens protected from the harsh winter weather. When we first did the greenhouse we used a canopy shelter that a friend gave to us and for temporary coverage bought a tarp to cover it with since the previous cover was worn. For stability we used very large pallets that are connected together plus used square cage wire for shelf or to raise rabbits.

When we were first getting started with our farm we added about 8 chickens of mixed breeds but two of our specialty chickens is a Polish Bantam Frizzle (Benedict) and a White Headed Polish Bantam(Snowball) hen. We have definitely enjoyed adding chickens to our adventures. Later I will introduce you to our ducks! In the next post you will find a much different looking greenhouse as we updated what wasn't working and did some improvements for the winter.
