When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Having taken the first steps toward a freer, more independant, life; we now turn to housing options.
We are considering three options at this point:
1. 30' Yurt
2. Tuff-Shed style house
3. Travel Trailer
Each of these has pros and cons. We like the instant gratification of a travel trailer but are a bit uncertain how it would perform during the harshest winter months in Montello. If anyone has experience with this we'd be very happy to hear your thoughts. A yurt would provide the most square footage, but we aren't sure about how to errect the platform/base on our own. Lastly the shed option offers the most comprehensive option of insulation with a traditional living space, however, it would limit the livable square footage that we could attain within our desired budget. Again the foundation (post and pier) gives us a bit of pause. Choices, choices... Let the research and planning begin.
