January update

Life is good at the tiny house - muddy but good! January has been a very wet month and although the house itself is on slightly higher ground, the driveway and fields are extremely muddy. It does make it a bit hard to keep the house clean.

I tracked down at least part of my moisture issue. My hot water tank was leaking. Chances are it has been since day 1 but because it was under the kitchen counter, it was not an area that I ever noticed. Jamie has come and put in a new one now so that should help. The other day I opened a few windows to air out the place and after a couple of hours, my hygrometer showed that I had actually let in more humidity than I let out. I guess I won't bother doing that anymore until the weather improves a bit! I am using my fan more now and have bought a new dehumidifier (which I will move around to different corners) to keep the humidity under control.

Today, a film crew is coming to the house. They are coming primarily to interview Kenton (a tiny house building instructor) about an upcoming workshop and wanted it to be done in a tiny house. They will be asking Denise (a friend and member of our advocacy group) and I a few questions so I am, of course, a little nervous. Definitely out of my comfort zone!
