Hi we live in Eagan and we thought about this too, but ran into roadblocks with where we could put a tiny home. Are you on a private piece of land Or in the city . What are city codes we would have to work around? Beautiful home. Thanks
So far we haven’t run into any issues with codes. We’re starting out at a campground… kinda pretending we’re an RV! 🙂 We don’t know where we’ll be next; I’ll be researching that as we follow my husband, Ryan’s, career. But what I’m confident in is that there’s always a way! Blessings in your research, By Grace!
Have you had any issues with the extreme temperatures in MN this winter? One of our concerns as we look toward building tiny is keeping the pipes from freezing in our bitter cold snaps. Any thoughts/advice? Maybe that is not an issue like we think…
Hi Rachel! We have heat lamps at the water pump site inside an insulated box, electrical heat tape wrapped around the pipes, and the perimeter of the tiny house is skirted. So! We still froze up a few times but we learned that that is partially because we had such little snowfall this year. The snow insulates everything so nicely! (We’ve learned from our rv-ing neighbors who also froze a few times this year BUT last year no one on the campground froze at all because of the supersnow.) Frozen pipes can be warmed up though! Crawl underneath, locate the problem, and direct some heat at it! Not a huge problem. And with this winter’s experience behind us I think we’ll be more prepared for next year. 🙂 Oh! One tip we learned was during the very, very cold nights was to keep the water running at a really, very slow tiny stream… running water doesn’t freeze!
In the house we kept very, very warm though! Nice and cozy warm!
