My Dream... "Humor Me"
So... "WHAT's my 'Big Dream' "?? Well... to live a simple, uncluttered, DEBT FREE life--semi "off grid"...kind of...! (*wink* with smile) I know it will probably never become a reality, for SEVERAL reasons, but I still love to dream! It gives me an "escape" to dream and plan about how I would do things *IF* I could. So, I've created "this space" to do my planning/"dreaming". You can by-pass it entirely, or you can give yourself a little chuckle as you browse through my musings. It just somehow "helps" me to put it 'down on paper'... this is my "paper" :)
My Plan
Step 1- to find some land to purchase! Would love to find some land (a lot, an acre, 2-3 acres...whatever I could find or afford) that is NOT on the main highway/road. I would like to be off the road in a wooded area, preferably with access to a strong, clean, running creek. Although I would like a lot of trees or "woods", I do still want a small yard with grass-- not just dirt and tree roots from being right in the middle of a "forest".
Step 2- to buy a "cute" little 2-story storage shed to finish and convert into our little cottage/home. Yes... I said a "storage shed"! Like I said, HUMOR ME :D (I *did* say a CUTE one ;) I have personally seen a "single story" storage shed converted into a small "living space" {think small apartment} ...so I see no reason that *I* couldn't! :)
*....See how "easy" it would be to be "debt free"... or at least close to it?? It wouldn't be as easy to LIVE that way, but it IS POSSIBLE--just takes more effort and energy, and a good dose of perseverance!!
A Little House On The Hill~
I found THE NEATEST little cottage cabin!! It was built by a couple who desired to downsize in order to live a comfortable and fulfilling retirement... only 540sq.ft. *WOW* It is SUCH an inspiration to me!!! It added SO MUCH fuel to the *fire* of MY DREAM* :D It is small and cozy, and very stylish :) I *LOVE* it!! They have a website chronicling their adventure, complete with pictures. It is very informative and interesting. I hope you will check it out! The site address is http://www.littlehouseonthehill.weebly.com/
Below are some pictures and a video... EnJOY!
